Ok, currently I have a dual athlon 1800, using the Tyan 2462 mobo. I bought this setup a long time ago from Alienware, before they started mass marketing. Since I am using Photoshop CS a lot, I upgraded to 1.5bg of ram. Now, I would like to upgrade the cpus. The new bios version supports up to the 2800, which is good, as that is the only mp chip currently being made.
The question: What fan and heatsink would work well with this board with 2800s? There isn't a whole lot of space around the sockets, primarily due to the capacitors. I would prefer copper heatsinks, and preferably a reasonably quiet fan. I've spent half the day looking, and so far I'm not really all that impressed. Right now the 1800s have a standard aluminum hs with a basic coolermaster fan, which is rather loud.
thanks,
J
