    I’m going to purchase an AMD Athlon 64 3000. Anybody got advice on a good Heat sink/Fan. I might do some over clocking in the future so would need to allow for that. The quieter the better is there any I can get that that has no fan just for pure silence or may one were the fan can be switched off/low

    the zalman 7000s get good things said about them and theyre cheaper than the thermalrights, but the thermalrights is what id go for

    the thermalright xp 120 looks good, but fitting is the question

    The xp-120 is the best performing heatsink on the market. Combined with a quiet 120mm fan your looking at great performance and silence.

    Check thermlrights site for a compatability list. Usually it involves bending a capacitr slightly out of the way. I'd have to remove the otes system on mine completely to get it on.
