MaTtsPc · 15-April-04, 02:45 PM

ok right now im running a 2500+barton core 333fsb @ a 3200+@400FSB! im going to order a new cpu im going to git the Mobile 2500+ or the Mobile 2600+ what kind of HSF sould i git ???

A good one.

This question has been asked so many times it's almost second nature by now. The tried-and-true models are the newest ones from Thermalright, Swiftech, and the big ol' Zalman. There are also a few newer heat pipe models which haven't been widely used yet from Aerocool that look promising may want to look into if you feel ambitious.

The Swiftech:

You'll have to double-check compatibility because I was kinda rushing.

MaTtsPc · 15-April-04, 03:50 PM

thanks man ! that helped out alot! now i just need to fig out what one is the best an im going to go with it

nev_payne · 15-April-04, 05:45 PM

the thermal rights are good ones to go with. as you can see tho, the higher up model require the 4 hole mount (socket a).

theres also this thing from coolermaster:

*suit you sir* 6 heatpipes, and enough copper alright. takes 80mm fans.

MaTtsPc · 15-April-04, 08:20 PM

newegg dont have any of thos i need a good one that newegg has im goin to order tomarrow PLSS help

BigAkita · 15-April-04, 09:02 PM

The best I've used was the Zalman 7000.

Zykon · 15-April-04, 09:03 PM

aerocool ht-101 is veeeeeeeeery nice

davidkruta · 15-April-04, 09:07 PM

ive got that zalman and i totally love it, but those aeros look good(although huge).

godfoot · 15-April-04, 09:11 PM

I have the Swiftech HSF (w/ 92mm fan attached) and I have gotten an XP 2000+ (DUT3C) up to 2.34GHz stable before my temps got very high.... and this is with VERY inadequate case airflow. So I'm happy with it.
But the only reason I didn't get the Zalman was that it would not fit my case due to the proximity of the PSU. You may want to take that into consideration as well before leaping into the Zalman..... it is huge.

CRE · 15-April-04, 10:09 PM

I'm absolutely in love with my Zalman CNPS7000. But, yeah, it's a beast, make sure you have room for it first!

LoudDog · 15-April-04, 11:06 PM

I've bought all the best Heatsinks and Swiftech is tops in my book. They may cost a little more but you get what you pay for with the Swiftech. Ultimate Quality Bar None. No lapping required and it will run as cool as you can get without vaporphase or deep freeze cooling.

BigAkita · 15-April-04, 11:10 PM

Have you used the Zalman?

Zykon · 15-April-04, 11:25 PM

u know the ht isnt all that eavy, it is tall as hell thouhg, hence hight tower.

with ambient 75f it runs load at 31c for me.

it is VERY sexy! it looks soo good, more once im awake...

MaTtsPc · 16-April-04, 12:36 AM

NO i havent seen any of these that u guys talk aobut show me some pics! im ordering all my stuff from newegg.com tomarrow so thats why i wanted to git it from there only!!! i was looking at this http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...109-011&depa=0 tell me what u think pimps im goin to be running the hell out of my 2500+ mobile.... an i was goin to go with a 80mm fan on top of that hsf! here it is http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...999-120&depa=0 !!! thats what i was goin to go for but tell me what u guys think first befor i go jumping into something thats gonna suck !

lAnonymousl · 16-April-04, 12:44 AM

That'll work just fine, although you might want to look around and see if you can find a fan with a better CFM:noise ratio, but since it probably won't be running at full speed the majority of the time it should be ok. The best fans for HSF usage usually also have more depth than regular fans (.38"). If you're going to get that HSF, why not put a 92mm fan on instead of an 80mm?

Also, I've already linked you to the ones that everyone has mentioned so far, except for those by nev, which newegg doesn't carry.

godfoot · 16-April-04, 12:45 AM

My personal opinion is go with the Zalman 7000 if it will fit in your case, or the Swiftech MCX462V or Thermalright SLK900 otherwise.

lcpiper · 16-April-04, 01:15 AM

I would plan to duct it right from the biginning, and select the right heatsink for the job.

The Swifty would do that very well. They have commercial ducting, or you can mod your own. Then the fan choice is up to you and you can go all the way to 120mm if you want to.

Just a thought, but it is a proven way to get great cooling and keep the noise down.

godfoot · 16-April-04, 01:20 AM

You know Icpiper that is a good idea, think I just may do that with my Swiftech.
Sometimes I forget or overlook the obvious benefits of certain brands over others.
