Which heatsink?

[toymachineman19]

Ok, I am getting this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-109-114&depa=0
with an A64 3500+ when I build my computer. I am stuck between the thermalright SLK-948U Heatsink http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-109-114&depa=0
and the Thermalright XP-90 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-109-119&depa=1
Both fit a 92mm fan, and I hear both are good. I would use the XP-120, but I want to use DIMM #1 (which I can't with this mobo and the XP-120), so I would like to know which is better, and they are both about the same price as well.

XP90 is a proven performer for the A64.

The Zalman is also another good choice.

ok, thanks, I will probably get the XP-90

HOLY CRAP!!!

I didnt realize how much the price went up for the XP-90 at newegg!!!


Get it from here and save some money

I order from these guys all the time (when the Egg gets greedy), they have yet to disappoint me.

And they have a good reseller rating:

But they have never disappointed me yet.

whoever you get it from, at least you'll save enough to buy a tube of AS5 to go along with that XP90.
