Best thermalright HSF solution?

[roachm]

Okay, I'm looking to buy a Thermalright HSF solution for my AMD XP 1700+. I want to know the best performace bar none, I know many will suggest water cooling but I can't afford that right now. I want to overclock this CPU as much as possible, it dying is not much of a problem considering how cheap it is to replace one.

If anyone has a thermalright hsf, could you please tell me which one and what fan you are using with it. Also if you could tell me how well its performing for you! thanks,

Well, I might go w/ a Thermalright SLK800a w/ a Sunon 92mm fan.

if you want best performance bar none then i would go with the Thermalright SP-97 coupled with a 92mm Vantec Tornado and a good pair of earplugs

OMFG, that is so wierd, when I priced out the stuff I want to get when I mod my LL, that was the exact combo I picked for my CPU HSF

Well unfortunately I remember hearing a Tornado and it definately bugged the heck out of me. So I dont' think I'll go down that path again, thx anyway though m8.

SP-97 with a 92mm Panaflo Medium/High/Ultra (you choose). The Tornado is just way too loud for me.

actually u can always 7v the tornado, i havent done this myself and i dont know how well it cools afterwards but i have heard it makes the fan quieter
