Quietly cooling my Athlon on an A7V266
Hi Folks,
My Athlon Thunderbird socket A is running at around 1GHz on an A7V266. I'd like to get a new heatsink and quiet cpu fan for it (the old one is gummed up and noisy as hell). Anyone have any suggestions? Don't want to spend a mint, of course. Thanks a ton. Best, Allie |

If however the only problem with yours is a noisey fan and gummed up, take it off, oil the fan bearings and wash the HS. But if the fan on yours isn't an 80mm fan, then it may not get as quiet as you'd like. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

All good suggestions, but since you only need to handle ~60watts worth of heat, there might even be a passive cooler out there. Or a cheap heatpipe one that will let you use a slow 120mm fan. Just an idea. Luck; Ken |

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. I'd love to use a passive
heatsink, but have been having trouble finding one that people say they use on this processor specifically. I might go ahead an do all the calculations, etc, but it'd be nice to hear suggestions if anyone has them. Thanks again. Best, Allie |

You won't be able to hear it over the PSU/HDD noise. About the only way you can do passive on a K7 CPU is to lower speed and vcore a lot and use a big HS. AN dunless I was then runing software cooling with something like athcool or the other one I used to use, i wouldn't trust it. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
