Which is the best cooler for the XP 2600+?

 

[WingDing]

Do you plan on overclocking? Will you be buying the retail or OEM CPU?

If your not doing anything, then the stock retail cooler is fine.

IF you want something especially quiet, then a volcano 7+ or volcano 9 or Sk-6 or Sk-800 with quiet fans might be an idea.

The OEM and I plan to overclock... I was thinking in buy the Swiftech MCX462U (w/ ThermalTake SmartFAN II at max speed), Alpha Pal 8045 (w/ Tt Smart Fan II at max speed), Cooler Master HHC-001 (+ Delta 7000rpm), Thermalright SLK-800 (+ Tt smartfan II), Kanie hedgehog type-w (dual Delta 50CFM fan), thermo electric cooler or water cooler. Any recommendations?

all are good choices

ive used swiftech in the past, and will always use either swiftech or alpha, unless mobos get rid of the 4 hole around the socket...

if you want a TEC, water cooling would probably have to be paired up with it, unless you get the new swiftech with TEC built into air cooling heatsink. you need to use a 80cfm+ fan however, vantec tornado comes to mind. also a separate "special" power supply for the TEC itself (i would get a 226w TEC for any advantage over air cooling)

Well then, probably the best coolers around are the volcano 7+, the MCX-462U, the alpha Pal8045 and the SK-800... Fan type is up to you... better cooling inevitably means a louder faster fan.

My MCX-462 with panflo 2000rpm fan is a pretty good combo for me, quiet and powerful.

my choice - Cooler Master HHC-001

Do you think it is safe to use a 500g+ cooler that only fix w/ a clip and the center lug? Cause I am worry about that...

Go with the Thermaltake SLK-800 and the Smart Fan II. That's what I have and I'm getting about 35 degrees C (AXP 1900+) with the Smart Fan on auto-adjust. And it's pretty quiet too!
