AMD Barton Cooling

Sn0wMan · 24-August-05, 09:02 AM

I have an Athlon 3000+ 2.1 and I just have a regular old heatsink/fan with thermal grease that came with it. What is the best kind of heatsink, fan, and thermal grease to get?

Everyone's opinion welcome!!

The Zalman 7000 is a good choice. Also the Thermalright SI-97 I reviewed does a good gob too.

What type of board is it?
Also, as far as thermal grease. Artic Silver 5 pwns 4ll.

It is a mach speed N2PAP Ultra board Socket 478

wait a second...it says on the zalman website that socket 478 is only intel...I am confused. I have a AMD, but i could have swore it was 478 or socket A or something like that...someone please clarify.

You have socket A. Socket 478 is only Intel.

I personally like their Ceramique. It is a little thicker and doesnt break down like AS5. I have noticed temps are about te same as well.

Its socket 462...A.K.A. socket A. Thats why your confused

I have the Thermalright si-97 Hojo was talking about. It works great. At the settings in my siggy I never pass 42C...even at extreme loads.

thanks for clearing that up guys. I will look into getting a new heatsink/fan also...My current temps are 40c for my CPU and I am decrypting a movie so that's pretty much most of my CPU power...anyway thanks guys, and btw does anyone have a link to the Artic Silver 5?
