I'm going to be upgrading to an AMD Athlon 2800+ "Barton" and I'm going to be getting a new HSF combo for it. I currently have a Thermalright AX-7 on an 1900+ w/ a Vantec Stealth and I don't think that will be enough to cool a 2800+ and keep it bellow 100F as I can now. So I was wondering what you guys would recomend as a new, viable HSF solution. I have only two requirements though. I don't want it to be louder than 30 dBA max and I don't have mounting holes arround my CPU socket. Gigabyte didn't think I would need them for some reason.:rolleyes: Anyhoo, suggestions? Opinions?

A heatpipe would be kinda neat:cool:
 
The heatsink setup you have now should be sufficient. THe Palomino Core was hotter than the successor tbred and barton core, thus, i'd stick with your current setup.

In terms of a below 30c requirement, its going to be luck of the draw for you- to stay under 30dB, you can't do much better than you already have, except to maybe move up to a 26 dB fan (Coolermaster 80mm ball bearing is my fav) instead of the 20dB fan...

This is the blue LED version of the fan: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-999-051&depa=1
