Good Heat Sink/Fan For Athlon XP?
Hey guys.
I just got a OEM CPU/MoBo package and I wanted to get a better heat sink than the cheap-o that came with it. I won't be doing any over clocking and would be happy if I could find one in the $20-$25 range. FYI, it's a Socket A Athlon XP 1800+. Big thanks!

Thermaltake makes good fans for cheap. Look at the Volcano 5 or Volcano 6. I have used both - and both work well. They can be found for under $15 inc shipping. Check newegg.com

Don't use Volcano 5 on Athlon XP 'cauze it doesn't provide enough cooling. Use either Volcano 6 or 7.
