Very low profile heatsink suggestions?

Teasy · 27 Feb 2008 at 17:18

I'm going to build a media PC for my TV downstairs from parts of an old PC (just to play standard movies/music ect). What I need is a very low profile Socket A heatsink. It'll need to be no higher then 35mm (including the fan) while being able to effectively cool a Athlon XP2200+. I was going to buy a Vantec CCK 6012, as that seems perfect for me, but I can't find it available anywhere in the UK. Any suggestions?

Looks like I'll be buying a Akasa AK-351-2.

These are fantastic. MEGA quiet and will stand some overclocking too!

Ummm, that's a little taller then 35mm, being 62odd. Not exactly what the OP was after?

There's a couple of versions of that Akasa that will fit but i have'nt a clue how well they cool.

Akasa AK-351 copper, 25mm high inc fan, 60x60mm, 4000rpm, 21.51CFM, 29db £11.40 inc vat.

Akasa AK-351-2, copper, 35mm high inc fan, 60x60mm, 4800rpm, 22CFM, 32.5db, £10.56 inc vat.
