I was able to overclock my athlon 2000+ from 1.6 to 2ghz without unlocking, 166/33 FSB..and it runs quiet stable
But here comes to the problem, I can't cool my cpu down with volcano 9 without running at full RPM..which is extremely loud...sounds like air plane took off lol

so any suggestions??

Hats off to your motherboard and memory.

Assuming you don't want to water cool you need the biggest heatsink and biggest fan running at low rpms in order to get max heat dissipation at lowest noise. But you want the ability to choose the fan speed so you can assure your oc. I suggest this combo of the slk-900 with a two-speed 92mm fan.

For the top overclock air cooled combo replace the 92mm Zalman fan above with the taller 119cfm (!) 92mm fan from vantec and put a $6 speed controller on it and dial into your cfm/db but maintain high cfm.

Or you can save $10-$20 by going with the slk800 or sk-7 heatsink plus an 80mm fan, giving up a just a little cooling for the savings.
