Cooling

[porsch1909]

what cooling do you guys recomend for a 3200 64 AMD CPU. anything you guys have used, we are planning on overclocking so some heavy cooling will be required.

I use the Zalman CNPS-7000Alcu on my 3400+, and I used it on my old 3200+ and I overclocked that to 2.4Ghz. Just make sure it is the all copper one

I hear mixed reviews about the thermaltake,
So, i suggest on the safe side, dont get it

Yoshi, we both have the same pc now, you copy cat

How far did you push ur 3400+? and on what heatsink?

Expensive, and you need to buy a 120mm Fan

Look at these?

Shader what's your system?

Also I havn't OC'ed my 3400+ as the BH-5 RAM I ordered came after I left the for vacation, so I'll be back in the states tomorrow or Friday to crank up the FSB

Also I am using the Zalman I posted above

I've been using a thermaltake Venus 12 since I got my 3200, temps get to 42C under full load (with my case fans up full) but usually sits at under 36C.
I've never had any trouble with thermaltake except the hi-med-low switches they used with a couple of the volcano fans, I now just use the thermal probe under the CPU to adjust the fan speed.

I also stuck a fan grill on top of the cooler, I don't fancy any cables getting sliced

not seen you for a while!

thanks for the advice but he will stick with the cooling he gets with the CPU, should be sufficient but we wont OC with stock cooling. lol
