HSF for my AMD Athlon 6400+ Black Edition
Last response: in CPUs
I ordered up and installed a AMD Athlon 6400+ 3.21GHz Black Edition CPU. I had the option of getting a recommended fan included in the deal from Newegg. I bit. Well as it turns out the HSF would not fit unless I removed two sticks of my DDR2. Ouch. I went from 4GB to 2GB. I have Windows Vista Basic 32 bit, so in reality I have only lost 1.5GB of ram but still, I want all the ram I can cram in my box...know what I mean? So my rig is running great with the new CPU and only 2GB of ram. For principals sake, I want all that ram back so...
Can anyone recommend a great HSF that will fit? &
Has anyone experienced the same?
I have the DIMMS on one side and then some transistors on the other so I am restricted to the stock HSF dementions which is very similar to this Rosewell RCX-Z1. Currently I have the Rosewill RCX-Z2-EX installed. As you can tell from the specs and the picture, it is a very nice looking and well performing HSF. I have been running the processor now with it installed for about three hours and its been clocking at under spec temperatures 60c - around 48c lazy. Nice HSF huh? I wish that I could keep it, but it simply does not fit. I am thinking the Rosewill RCX-Z1 (pictures showing the general shape and size I need to make this work) will do just fine, but I could use some expert advice just to be sure before I return it and get one that fits between the DDR2 and te transistors on the other side of the ram.
Thanks in advance for your assistance...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154002 is mine and I've have it cooling an overclocked AMD Phenom 9600 @ 2.9GHz. Well not right now becuase I've decied to go back to stock sence my PSU would hardlock the system at 2.8GHz but was able to reach 2.9GHz. Strange though that in Windows Vista I've recieved "A secondary processor clock interval was not recived with in alocated time" Windows XP just Froz with no BSOD.

This is what I'm using on my Phenom here, works good even while OCing. just make sure they include the fan controller in your package.

It's not so much about the CPU being cooled as it is the size of the HSF. Cooling is a must obviously, but I need to make sure the new fan does not hit the Dimms or the transistors on the other side. It's the opposite sides of the clips/HSF mounts that are concerning.
It appears that my new mobo (for my spontaniuos build, slated for Wednesday evening after successfull on time delivery from Newegg) is also going to be a tight fit and therefore need the width to be the same as the Processor mount. I need to go up and not out with the dimension. I like the suggestion for the Zalman 9000's. Yes they will do the trick.
Thanks everyone for your help. I am quite the noob, but learning quickly!
