    Socket A/462 Coolers

    Good Evening folks

    I'm looking to shift this machine into an Akasa Zen case after new year, because this one is horrible (1 80mm fan, ugly looking etc ), and thought about a new CPU cooler aswell, but after a quick search - can't find any Socket A coolers on sale anywhere.

    Was there ever much in the way of aftermarket cooling solutions for Socket A, and does anyone know where I can get one?

    Cheers,
    David

    all of the above, or the SI-97, equally good but more widely available as far as I can remember...

    there's not many socket A only coolers out there any more but the multi-socket compatible coolers often still support it. I use one of the Zalman 7000 Cu things, works well
