Hi all i posted this in "General Hardware" but i didn't get the response i was looking for so i'll try here.

I am thinking of getting a new CPU cooler for my AMD Athlon XP2200+. I was wondering what you think about these two:

ThermalTake Silent Boost K7

and the ThermalTake Volcano 12

http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/volcano/rs/a1745.htm

I don't think that they vary much in performance except the Volcano 12 is designed for overclockers and has an adjustable fan speed controller and will last longer than the Silent Boost.

I would think the Volcano 12 would be the way to go but i'm not quiet sure on that, can you give me your opinions...

Oh yeah would i also get better cooling if i bought a ThermalTake "ducting mod" for the fans?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

What HSF do you have now? Are you overheating or having temp related problems? Personally, I use cheap Cooler Master HSF's (about $10) & have had very good luck with them. My thinking is, "why spend $50 when you don't have to?"

Have you considered the new Cooler Master Aero 7 Lite? I've seen them for less than $20!
