[tangents]

Hello, i plan on buying the Athlon XP 3000+ with 400 FSB, and since this will be the OEM i was wondering which fan/heatsink u should pruchase too ensure cpu stability. i generally play games for about 2 hrs and watch media for prolonged periods of time. TIA

Anything that can handle a Palomino 2100+ (72W) or a XP3200+ (77W)

Remeber to use a good thermal interface material.

If you're on a budget, the Speeze Falconrock is a nice HSF: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-150-023&depa=0

Kind of big though in comparison to the bundled retail AMD coolers. The corner hit a mosfet heatsink on a MSI board in my brother's computer. Still works fine though. If the area around the socket is free of capacitors, then it should work nicely.
