Cooler for athlon T'bird

Does anyone know anywhere in England I could get a HSF for my old 1.1Ghz T'bird. It got up to 91degree's yest while running seti at home...which is a little worrying to say the least.

any socket a hsf will work, that's what's nice about amd, they've been using the same socket for forever. Thermalright makes some of the best coolers, but they can be kinda expensive. Just search around for a socket a hsf

Yeh I realised that the T'bird's were still socket A yest. I had a look at the Thermalright heat sinks but they look very pricy and a bit too big for my case (there is not a lot of clearance between the PSU and the HSF). Was thinking of modding an old P4 one I have but it might be a bit difficult, either that or I will look on Ebay 4 summik cheap.

I don't know, isn't it cheaper to upgrade to a cooler, better CPU?

Abit IS7 @ 275 FSB, OCZ PC4200 RAM @ 550Mhz, P4 2.4 @ 3.3Ghz Vcore @ 1.625, Sapphire Radeon 9800P @ stock, for now.
Thermalright SLK-947U, P3 HS @ NB.

Was actually thinking about getting a VIA mboard and CPU for my third system, they consume about 5watts and can be passivly cooled. I could use it as an always on file FTP server and it wouldnt bother me then.
Problem is I still use it for network games and that CPU would really suck.

Are there any other CPU's that I could passivly cool..maybe the mobile XP? If I underclocked it?
