Hey,
My current stock AMD (came with my retail Athlon64 4000+ San Diego) fan has been making some very odd noises over the past week (despite cleaning) and I believe that it is on its final leg.
Do you guys have any suggestions on a good replacement heat sink / fan combo for the CPU to replace the AMD stock HS/Fan? I prefer to keep it around < $35 (after shipping). It will go onto a Gigabyte KNSUltra-939 (nForce 3 Ultra) in a Lian-Li Lancool K7B. I will not be overclocking it.
I do not want to spend much money on it, since I plan on upgrading once AMD Socket AM3 becomes mainstream and I doubt current heatsinks will work on that socket.
I was looking at the ThermalTake Golden Orb 2.
Thoughts?
