Comment: Hi i just got a new comp with athlon 1800 and the cpu temp is around 55 C idle.. The current HSF is the one came with AMD. Im considering buying a new HSF. After reading some of the messages, i got a couple of HSFs in mind (the alpha thing, the volcano thing... etc). Here are my questions:
1. what HSF should i use
2. Whats the difference between the brands
3. What stats should i look for when i do my fan shopping.
4. What do the different figures and numbers mean?
As u can see i am new to this sort of hardware stuff and plz help me out. Thank You in advance LN

Reply: (edit)I just built my new computer with a athalon 2200xp I'm running a volcano 7+ with artic 3 on mediam not high and my cpu is at 43c load and it never ran over 48c so I think you would like the volcano 7+ ( but you run it on high it gets pretty loud )
