I plan on OC'ing so I may need to look at something different then.

I wouldn't say so, the single core A64s tend to run kinda cool. I can hit 2.4GHz on my stock heatsink with some ultra junky thermal paste without temps getting too insane. So yours should be fine

Cool 8)

Of course it's still better than the stock. I know for a fact that Justin was able to reach 2.7 with his processor using that same sink.

Thats what I meant.

Thats good to hear since the cost of a good HSF is pretty high.

how about the ultra-120?

Tyreal · September 24th, 2006

The Thermalright Ultra-120 was definately a candidate. After reading up on its specs and several reviews, I discovered that since my motherboard's mounting holes are facing "north/south" the heatsinks orientation would be completely incorrect. The heatsink would be facing upwards, sucking hot air from the videocard to the top of the case towards the powersupply. Ideally, you would want it sucking cooler air from the front, blowing it to the rear.

I have a mental illnesss called indecisiveness. Its very hard for me to decide on what to buy. :D With that being said, I'm going to wait a little while for Rich's review and read up a little more.
