Thermal right slk-800 heat sink and a fan from the lies of www.quietpc.com should do the job :)

Silent??? Get a zalman (http://www.zalmanusa.com) !

Yeah but I hear you can cook with those things. I mean literaly!:eek: They are overpriced too. But it is quiet. DO not oclock with it at all though as your temps wont be that great to start with. It being a 2200+ and that being a not so efficient HSF just kinda adds up to "HOT".;)

The SLK-800 Jakk recommended, or the AX-7 by the same company (ThermalRight). Pair up with a good 80mm 48.5 (YS Tech) to 50.6 (Sunon) CFM fan and you get great cooling and reasonable noise levels. I think the SLK-800 will even take a 92mm fan, so you can get even more air flow/less noise.

Ya could go Mad & get a SLK900! :eek:


If that don't cool it, the things un-coolable! :D

I second J.m. on that. Forget everything else; go for the Thermalright SLK-900. That 2200+ T-bred A dissipates a LOT of heat -- very heat-retentive, power-inefficient CPU. It will need all the cooling it can muster.

I think Tony's ingested too much of something. He's not normally like this. :confused:
