Good fan for Tbird??

[Gutter Ball]

Okay, I've made my decision and my new ASUS A7 Pro and my Tbird 750 will be coming on Thursday and I'll be picking it up on Saturday! Now I don't know a thing about Slocket(or is it Socket) A's. I know my Alpha cooler is sweet. Anyway, I'm just wondering what kind of heatsink/fan I should use? Maybe I'll get another Alpha? Or is the stock hs/fan combo good enough?(Heh, probably not, but gotta ask).

Well are you planning to overclock?

Good coolers:

SuperOrb (http://www.plycon.com/scorb.htm)
ALPHA PAL6035 (http://www.plycon.com/pal6035.htm)
FOP38 (http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/1/164.htm?596)
FOP32 (http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/1/142.htm?596)

I'm sure there's more at the moment. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif I put that Alpha there just for you. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Great help there jl...
Any of them are exceptional, ive used all of them with good results and an odd Vantec which proved to be a dud, (looked like it should have worked well) Coolermaster have been questionable for some reason as well?...I prefer a Superorb, at 19$, relatively efficient, and above all quiet...believe me I would use the screamer 38 on a Hedge, Alpha or FOP but my 3 machines are in my livingroom...


Was using FOP38...not aceptable...
