Best socket A hsf, but no mounting holes

joeyjojo · 6 Jul 2006 at 19:58

Need the best cooler possible for socket A, but the mobo doesn't have mounting holes. The gigabyte g-power pro is the strongest contender at the moment. The heatpipe 101 is another possibility, but I don't know how well it performs. Help appreciated.

Bump. Does nobody have any advice on good old socket A?

Big typhoon is another guess, but i think that might use mounting holes.

My brother has the G-power, and its bloody loud :/

The g-power pro comes with a fan controller and on its lowest setting it still offers great cooling and is quiet.

Yes, uses mounting holes unfortunately, that was my first choice.

What's the wink for? Guess they must have stopped making them. Are these meant to be good then?
