I want to oc my barton 2600+ and was looking to get the thermalright alx
heatsink. But im not sure what 80mm fan is best or at least good for oc'ing.
I was looking at some cooler masters , but then I found the thermaltake
smartfan. Can anyone make some suggestions ?
TIA

More important than the fan is the sink.
Get a Thermalright SLK or SK.
If you can handle the noise, get a 38 x 80mm fan - higher pressure means
better o/c's.

Qualify "best". The Vantec Tornado is an awesome air-mover, but it causes
ear damage if you sit too close (say, 10m or so).
