Processor heatsink/fan?
Hi,

I'm looking for a heatsink fan that would be quieter than my current volcano 7. I have a Athlon xp1600+ right now with a Asus A7V333 Motherboard. I was thinking of getting the Zalman CNPS5100-Cu. Is this a good choice? Can anyone recommend anything else?

Thanks

Are you overclocking or just runing at stock speeds?

right now I'm not overclocking, but I'm sorta thinking about doing it.

I've got a GlacialTech Igloo running on my 1700 @ 2600 speeds and it keeps the temp below 50 and it's just as quiet as the case fans.

The Coolermaster Aero is apparently very good.

HA-HA...pretty much anything will be quieter than your volcano 7...
Me...I would personally go with one of the SLK line of thermalright heatsinks with a good adjustable 80mm fan...
