With all of the overclocking that I'm doing I would like to get a new processor fan but I don't know what the size of it is, does anyone know the length and width of a fan that comes with the AMD Athlon XP 2000+?

The stock fan is 60mmx60mm. If you are going to replace it you are best off replacing the heatsink and fan as well, since the stock sink is fairly lame. A heavy copper cooler with an 80mm fan will cool the best at moderate to low noise levels.

I don't really give about noise levels considering I blast music all the time, and when I sleep I either put the computer into standby or shut it down. Is there any better fans?

At that note, do you have any exact names of fans that you know are really good, preferably one that you use or you know a person who uses one.
