Ok everyone. I want a new cooler but I don't know which would fit in my case. I have the ASUS Terminator K7 case with an Athlon XP1700 Processor. Space is limited so I was wondering if anyone would know a great cpu cooler/heatsink combo that would work fine and keep the cpu cool! I was thinking about the Thermaltake Volcano 7 , but I'm not sure about height and width. Anyone with similar ASUS Terminator boxes with great cpu coolers care to give any suggestions? Thanks for any help...

Any AMD approved HS&Fan for 1700+ will work...What's your current power supply? My dual 520Watt power supply fixed all of my heating problems, my CPU runs at 33C now, it used to run at 57C. You should get a dual 520Watt power supply.

not everyone has that kind of money to throw around.
if you really want the best cooling per dollar, get a water cooling setup or buy a better case
