Hi all

Im running a athlon 3200xp cpu and am wanting a new heatsink, all seems fine until you start looking for one :( . I have seen a Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940) (FG-000-AR) heatsink that would be perfect but it says its for ALL sempron cpus. With this in mind i am wondering if this will fit my asus a7n8x-e delux mobo as the Arctic Copper Silent 3 says it is also for ALL sempron cpu and also socket a.

Will this work or am i way off course??

Thanks

Steve
 
Nope it isnt for socket A

Gigabyte G-Power Pro (Socket A/754/939/478/775) Cooler (GH-PDU21-MF) (HS-004-GI)


As your board has the required mounting hold this should be fine
 
Thanks for fast reply will look into that, main reason to buy is i want the pc quiet. The arctic one looks perfect with the uprite fan but then if this is as good im more than happy.

Thanks

Then don't buy the gigabyte, lol! It's incredibly noisey at it's maximum setting, though at it's minimum setting it's near silent. It comes with a fan controller too if you don't already have one. Good temps tho.
 
With a Socket A chip you might get by on quiet settings fine. The 3200 is fairly warm but that coolers made to cool hotter beasts as well :)
 
thermalright SI-97 - one of best and quietest coolers (as long you get a good fan for it) for socket A.

p.s. i believe the panaflo fans are supposed to be very good and do the job nicely.
I have a YS-Tech fan on mine (from OcUK). Works a treat

I have a G-Power pro and although it is loud when turned up fully there has never been any reason for me to run it on anything other than the slowest speed. It keeps my clocked 3700 @ 30'c idle and cooled my xp3200 before that and kept that @ 40'c idle. Dam good cooler that can be used on any socket type with the supplied clips.

Yeh the G-Power uses the same types of clips as the stock coolers and is straight forward to fit. Its a very good cooler and mine has served me well for my last 3 builds and I have no intention of changing it anytime soon.
 
ive got a g power pro on my XP 3000+ even at the lowest setting i could get good overclocks wiv it
