    I have a difficult choice. You make it 4 me

     
    Three CPU coolers intended for the XP braton 2500 on an Abit NF7-S2 mobo:

    Contender No.1: Asus

    http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=Star%20Ice&langs=01

    Contender No. 2: Zalman

    Zalman CNPS5100-AlCu

    Contender No. 3: Glacialtech
    Limba 2000 dual fan

    Those are the only three options, so no outside contestents. Help and advice is greatly appreciated.

    Noise is not an issue. I just want maximum cool.

    Thanx

    I have a glacialtech fan, cooling barton 2500+ (it's older model glacialtech), seems to keep it somewhere in 40c's or so.

    I have nothing but good to say about the fan, it's extremely quiet and does it's job.

    The asus hsf seems a bit heavy, and won't probably do much better job than the others.

    Yeah I get that, but what about the socket thing? It says something liek K7/K8. What is that. Would it fit on my mobo/processor?

    speaking on that, what do you use for your overclocking vikeor? I was considering buying a Thermalright XP-90Copper for my prescott, because it can hit above 60*C during heavy load and has hit 70* running FAD...

    The K8 CPU's are the A64's and the K7 CPU's are the Socket 7's and early Athlon Slot A's.

    You'll need one that supports a socket A, which is what your 2500 is.

    [EDIT]: Wrong info on the K7, read below.

    Actually, I believe the Socket7 cpu's were the K6's. The K7 designation applies to all of the Athlon, AthlonXP, and Duron processors.
