    AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ HSF

    Hey,
    My old computer which was in my room was an the Athlon mentioned in the title (Socket AM2).
    The noisy stock HSF didn't used to bother me, but since the computer is now downstairs in a communal room with a telly, it's become a pain.
    Basically, I need a cheap, quiet HSF to replace it.
    Also, the case is a mATX....Idk if that will be an issue, but obviously it can't be too big....the case is the Acer Aspire T180
    Thanks

    I'd get that, could probably run it passive but it isn't cheap.

    Look for reviews first but this might be alright

    Did you really need to bump after half an hour? .. TUT!

    Don't you think the Arctic one would be a bit underpowered?

    Thanks SM....I think I'll be going with the Alpine 64. It ticks by boxes...I've found it for <&#163;7 on Ebuyer...and reading the reivews, it goes down to a low of 19dB and doesn't exceed 30dB, which is ideal.
    Once again, thanks
