which heatsink good for overclocking?

hell.o! which heatsink good to overclock my amd 2500 barton?

I think the Thermalright SLK-900A and the Volcano 9 are excellent. If you want to know about water coolers I am sure someone else will answer as well. BTW, welcome to our site. How high do you want to go? I have heard of people going to 166 FSB and 12.5 multi to get 2080mhz. As always remember to be careful and do at your own risk. You should have a cpu temp around 45 idle and 55 under load.

I heard th SLK's worked good but havent tried one yet.
I'm using Thermalright SK-7's on 2500 Bartons running 200fsb and 11 multiplier 2200mhz they dont come with a fan, youll need to pick out one of your own. I use Speeze FD08025S1M 80mm fans, they are quiet and move decent amounts of air, 36cfm if I remember right. My Bartons are running between 37 and 41 degrees.

Hell.o! i'm not going to high! just a beginer. i'm not going to use water cooler. 8O what brand is slk??? is it cheap like aero 7 lite??

[Bionic_Redneck]

thats thermalright but not the cheapest around then again you get what you pay for.

[Haris]

Hell.o! are aero 7 lite best?? any better in cooler master brand?? but not that expensive ones. and also zalman can tell me the model,,,,, which is cheap and also good etc not to noisy and cool!

[jlangner]

I am not sure, maybe someone else can answer.

I think the slk 900 is the best comes bare so that means you could add whatever fan you want and since it does use a 92mm fan it should also be quiet. but I believe they are around $50

not sure about aero 7 lite but thermalright and swiftech seemed to be top of the heatsink ranking. I would recommend the you look through the heatsink rating on overclockers.com and try and find the best performing heatsink in your price range. personally I don't mind spending a little extra for a higher quality hsf because it could always be reused when I upgrade just as long as the same socket is used

I use a Thermalright SLK-900a with a 92mm fan. For a good price on one check out SVC.com. They are usually the cheapest on the heatsink.
