TR2-M1 (or M3), about $8, 21dba (very quiet). Not far from $60 coolers
performance.

Zalman 7000A cu  

Same cpu running at 34c  

And QUIET AS  , 1500 rpm one prob is big make sure you can fit it on
your mobo, Zalman have a Compatiblity chart.

No other Cpu cooler comes close.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion, was thinking bout picking one of those Zalmans
up for my 64bit system too. Think I'll let him pick it up for his and test it
out. If its not to big a pain in the ass I'll look in to it myself

You could also try something crazy like this,
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dstrausser33/
This setup is still the same, but I don't have the MSI MB any more.
I have a Asus A7N8X board.
HS I think was by Antec, The Fan just happened to fit.
Needed to use a really small screw driver for it.
38/100 are my temps as of now, that's Idle temps.
45/113 running Sisoftware Sandra CPU Test over & over again, how
many times I ran it I don't know.
All I know is I ran it over & over again till it didn't look like it was
going
up any more.
These are nice temps if you consider.
CPU-Z is reporting vcore @ 1.872 - 1.904V
CPU running 2,175 (2.18GHz or 2.175 GHz)
2200+ @ 2800+ but running more like a 3000+
a little faster really, but not as fast as a 3200+
It's nice, & I would be willing to put another AMD together
in the future sometime.
No more P4 or P5 or what ever Intel comes up with next.
They are nice for encoding jobs, but AMD is better for gaming.
+ Takes more hardware faster then a Intel system.
You ever see those gaming pads that EB has, they look just like a PS2 Game
Pad.
Only one problem with them, they don't work @ all on Intel systems.
@ least not without a driver the company never put out.

Good luck to you, I hope things work out.
