I'm leery of using the Demon Heatsink. My old processor died today. I think it was on its way out anyway, because I've been having problems with the computer before I even started putting together the new system. Still leery of using that, though.
Any suggestions? Preferably a place I could get fast shipping from, since my RMA'd processor may be here Monday.

The Thermaltake Volcano 7+ is also a very respectible heatsink.
If you're feeling spendy:
The Thermalright SLK-800U is one of the best coolers on the market (second only to the SLK-900) and mounts using the motherboard holes rather than the clips. This is a little less strenuous because you just tighten the screws like in the directions.

only if you pair it with www.resellerratings.com
and lyn, about the volcano 9, it's extremely much worse than the volcano7+. Unless you REALLY can't spare the extra $3, I'd highly suggest the 7+. If you leave it at stock speeds, there will be a 5-6 degree C difference between the two, and if you overclock, there will be a ~150-250MHz difference between where the two will take you.

Oh, it's not the cost. The 7+ just kind of confuses me. How the heck does it attach?
clip that attaches to the center clip similar to your current HSF. [ 05-03-2003: Message edited by: Burger ]

I went with the Volcano 7+.

I gotcha. The Thermaltake site had a bit better of a diagram. I see now.I went with the Volcano 7+.
very good choice! You should be entirely satisfied!
(and once you get this thing up and running i fully expect to see just how far it will let you take your chip)
