    Question CPU Cooler

    Hi all i.m about to Build a new system this will only be the second time for me so i'm still learning . The Motherboard is going to be an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, the cpu will be an Athlon 2400xp, the Heatsink i'm thinking of using is the Coolermaster CP5-8JD1F-0L, whitch i intend to buy from E Buyer. I have been reading the buyer reviews and they seem to be more for than against , what i'm not sure is whether this heatsink will fit the Motherboard i want to use . I was wondering if any of you good folks had any ideas on the subject ??. Any advice would be most appreciated thanks in advance.

    Coolermaster tend to make functional fans so do tend to adhere to std dimensions and weight, I think you'd be fine. I'd rec something with variable control, Volcano9 or preferably 11+ are under £15 www.dabs.com www.cpucity.co.uk (IIRC). XP2400+ is fine, esp if you need 266FSB or are limited to PC2100 RAM. Have you considered o/c'ing at all?

    i would get the kamakaze as they are much cheaper than the slk's and arent that far behind in performance....

    they are pretty new but there are a good few reviews around so you should be able to find one...
