AMD Socket 462 CPU Cooler

[domyboy]

Hi there, after clearing out my cupboard I found an old AMD system, it has a socket A 462pin A1000AMT3B CPU and a Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 mobo.
I got it all wired up and it boots fine however there was no CPU heatsink lying in the cupboard and after searching around it seems the stock AMD fans for the heatsink were like aircraft engines so basically can anyone remember what the best(efficient and quite) CPU cooler was for this chip and where I could get one?

Try something like an Alpha PAL8045 or Thermalright SLK-800.

Both take 80mm fans and are (were) top of the line heatsinks.

Should be able to get one for pretty cheap these days.

Dont suppose you know what kind of overclock i could get out of the A1000AMT3B CPU?

Have a look on the chip, there should be a model code.

Something like AXIA1000 (the 1000 denotes the speed, the AXIA denotes the stepping).

IIRC, AXIA's were the good clockers.

Ah thanks I actually was searching the cupboard for a sound card and found another AMD CPU lol this time its an a1400amsc3 I read up on the chip and according to many it ran a 'tad' hot. It would explain the blackness around the heatsink and cpu
