S754 Athlon64 Venice - which cooler

[Jedi1138]

Am about to order my Venice core S754 Athlon64 3000+ and want a new cooler - any recommendations?

The favourite at the moment is the Gigabyte G-Power Pro (Socket A/754/939/478/775) Cooler.

The Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro is said to be a good cooler. The Thermalright XP-90/XP-120 are also good coolers

I've just noticed that Alpha is back on the website - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Alpha.html. They made the PAL8045 which was just about the best Socket A cooler you could buy - don't know what their Athlon 64 coolers are like

I would think stick with the AMD supplied cooler. Seems to work well for me

Hi,

if your thinking about the G-Power then I would suggest take a look at the Thermalright SI-120 (of course this is the one I just bought hehe )

By all accounts the stock retail AMD HSF is not a bad performer, but if you are suffering from *overcooling-addictus* my vote is for the Thermalright (22°C-38°C stock Opteron 146).

EDIT: The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler brigade will be along shortly
