754 Stock Cooling

[Rapture]

So I decided to do a budget upgrade.... I'll go all out later this year

Old Setup--
Athlon 900mhz
ABIT NF7-Raid
MISC. 384mb PC100
Geforce 2 MX Pro

New Setup-
A64 3000+ Clawhammer (1.8ghz)
Chaintech VNF3-250
Kingston 1 GB PC3200
ATI 9800 Pro 128mb

The only problem is that I don't have any type of cooling. I'm only going to overclock to 2ghz if any at all. I haven't been able to find very much info on the best Air cooling devices.
I'm going to play Doom 3 & FFXI Online. Thats about as hardcore as I get.

Which Heatsink/ Fan should I get?

Honestly? The stock cooling for 754 aint bad.
I oc mine to 2.2 (10%) and it stays fairly cool and quiet. The fan is a little loud, but it does its job. Temps stay low as well.

The problem is, I dont have any cooling at all, not even stock.

It's a Clawhammer - mobile OEM so No fan/ heatsink.

I just dont want to spend a ton of money on cooling.

From what Ive heard those things have no IHS on them so there could be issues with mounting it on a regular mobo and HS/F without some kind of trickery... someone here would most likely know better

XP-120 + a Delta fan would be your best bet on air.

However, I bought a non-retail Newcastle without a HSF and bought myself a Thermaltake Silent Boost... Im planning on going water when I get cash, so I wanted something cheap... right now, with the overclock in my sig, at like 1.62v im idling at 32C loading at 44C... not bad.. stock idling at 26C

my bad. I was assuming.
XP's are nice, but pricey.

Yeah... for air, Id say XP-120 --> Zalman --> SilentBoost

Which Zalman?

I second the XP-120 if you can throw down for it. Running my 3400+ Clawhammer CG @ 3700+ speed (2.4GHz) w/ my XP-120...loads between 47C-50C @ 1.6v.
