For TBird 1.2Ghz? Help

[Guest]

Hi Guys and girls.

I recently ordered a lot of components for my computer.

TBird 1.2 Ghz.
Asus A7V
AOPEN HQ08 Case 300W

Now I am having terrible problem (for me terrible ;-)
I am looking for cpu cooler.
I thought Thermaltek SuperORB is good. But not sure if it is right choice for my CPU.
I don't wanna fry my CPU later.

Can you give any good suggestions?


Thank you in advance

I just change from a retail fan and heatsink to a FOP38. The temperature when from 49C to 38C. It is a little loud.

Umm... advise- those "orbs" suck. There isn't a good amount of heat dispersal to the heatsink with those things. They just look cool. Go with an Alpha PAL6035-A or GlobalWin FOP38. Those are the two best- bar none. Hedgehogs are OK- they now use copper heatsinks which disperse heat real well- but the fans Hedgehog use suck.

Actually thermaltake orbs are ok. Most reviews put them dead average (including TomHP) in performance or better. And they look cool and are a good price. I personally like global win or alpha, but the thermaltake orbs aren't bad. The other orb like heat sinks are not as good though.And also in Tom's review- not that I'd swear by this review- the orb out performed the hedgehog by a good margin and weigh less and cost less.

Hi guys. Thank you very much.
I bought Alpha Pal6035. I hope it will freeze my CPU. 😎

Hey, how about the CoolerMaster's DP5-6H11? Isn't it approved by AMD for 1.2ghz Thunderbird?

Ha ha ha!!! Coolermaster? Your nuts. It might be approved by AMD but you'll never see me buy one. It might be ok for non-overclockers- but I'd never try and overclock shiznit with that thing.

Guys so is it OK for my T-Bird 1.2 Ghz?

Here is description what I bought:

Alpha PAL 6035 Duron, Thunderbird Fantastic Cooler w/Delta 38CFM 60x25 Fan grill 3/4pin adapter

I am an overcloacker, but I will have a lot of stuff on my computer, that's why I need good cooling.

Guys please advise me.

Thank you very much for your time.

I've got a PAL 6035 MFC on my 950 tbird running at 1100. I can't remember the fan, but I think it's a higher speed YS-Tech. No heat problems at all. Just keep an eye of the fit. I think they've put out 2 or 3 revs of this cooler and two different clips.

Thanks. I will check it. I just confused with different variations of Pal 6035. I hope I got right one.
