Best HS/F for Duron?

The topic says it all...

Bump.

I wonder if the Golden Orbs can fit on Socket A?

If so, I would guess that would be a good heatsink/fan.

My thoughts exactly.

Okay, where would I get one and how much would it cost?

Probably the arcticooler. (http://www.arcticooler.com) Read the review here: http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/cooling/arctic_ca/index.html

Doesn't the Duron have those little pads on the corners though? i don't think a FC-PGA cooler would work.

Yet another bump. I really want more responses, because I want to get the most out of my Duron.

Use a Alpha PAL6035. It'll work.

hey what makes the golden Orb so much better? just a simple question. is it a much higher power FAN?

That Arctic Cooler is sure fancy.. Budman showed me some pics of it on his Athlon.. and his comp is running COOL compared to mine! I'm thinking of getting one, but do they work on Socket 7 CPU's? Are they expensive?

That Gorb is looking pretty good to me, as it costs $17 less than the Pal35.

Soccerman: No its not the fan, its the heatsink design. Maximizes airflow to surface area, therefore maintains cooler. The fan is actually a low CFM brushless fan.

 

[Soccerman]

how effective is it?

Best bang for the buck, going around for $14. Performs around 90% of an Alpha. The prob is its circular design won't fit Peltiers and theirs not guarantee how long that cheap fan would last.
