*This is my first post 😉*
I recently bought some super fast hardware and need to drop a couple degrees. I think i have everything maximized for heat dissapation (aluminum case with extra fans, silver compound, rounded cables) except for my CPU heatsink/fan is factory. The cpu is an AMD XP 2000. I was looking at thermaltake stuff like the orb and the volcano 7 plus and can't really tell what the "best" is. I was also wondering how beneficial a thermaltake piece would be on my gf3. Anyhow, any info would be much appreciated.

Check out the posts concerning the Alpha 8045 and Swiftech MCX462...they are generally adknowledged as the best performers (but I like the Dr. Thermal EXTREME)...anyway... read and decide for yourself <shrug>
