Cooling an O/C'd 3000+

[Carnecerro]

I am looking for a new cooler for my Athlon 3000+. I am currentyl at 200Mhz FSB with a 11.5 multiplier. Under load I am running about 55-56C. I am looking at the Cooler Master Aero 7+ or the Thermalright SLK-800. I can't use the 900 due to the cap placement on my Asus A7N8X. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated. Also, has anyone heard anything about the Vantec Iceberq 4 for cooling a 9700 Pro? Thanks.

Stay away form the aero 7+, it sux, and most have failed and had to be recalled by coolermaster. The thermalright SLK-800A or 800U rock with a thermaltake smart case fan 2 on there. Just make sure you can take the noise (54-56dB fan at full speed). It's loud, but cools very nicely. Presently I have the latter setup (thermaltake with thermalright) on my 2500+ @ 2.141GHz. it hits 123F load and 100-114F idle. and the fan is only at half speed. good luck and good OCing.
