I think finding a quiet cooler for your 850 will be a challenge....

I have recently bought a Zalman 6000Cu Flower cooler. Its very quiet
and looks the biz,

It will cool up to XP2600 but it wont fit on anything less than a
Thunderbird 1.4 so you 850 wont fit with it. I would upgrade the CPU
and get a new cooler at the same time.


Nonsense. Socket A is Socket A. There's no reason the Zalman
wouldn't fit his processor just because it runs at a slower speed.

might make it too cool..... :P

Cheaper in the UK ! That has made my day, I have always wondered why
the Yanks have things so cheap (petrol, electronics etc).

Hmm the stock fan that came with my Athlon 850 is completely silent. Don't
you
mean the noise coming from your PSU fan do you?
By the way, leaving the computer on all day every day will cost you 100s
of $ in
electricity. You also probably shouldn't be exposed to all that
electromagneticality while you're sleeping.
You may be able to use an Athlon XP with your current motherboard, but it
can
take a bit of work to get the multipliers right. You could try increasing
the
front side bus to 105MHz in the meantime.


Here in the UK our electricity is cheaper..
I would say it's probably a good 1/10th what I woulda paid in the states..

(2.175p/kWh)gbp
vs
(5.6c/kWh) (pre adjustment), (.001c/kWh) (street lighting), (3.78c/kWh)
(fuel adjustment) (9.38c/kWh total)

so that's nearly 3.5 time higher.. Then we also had other fee's on top of
that.. 7$ pm for the street light itself.. Then I seem to remember 2 or 3
other adjustments..

Go for the Gold! Thermalright SLK-800 or 900 with a Vantec Stealth fan.
Cool and quiet as can be....without the expense of water cooling.

Hi,

I've been using a Globalwin FOP-32 heatsink/fan for the past couple of
years
and the noise hasn't been that much of a problem until now. but now that
i
have broadband in my room, i want to be able to leave the computer on and
sleep at the same time! This heatsink and fan won't let me do that as its
just too loud.

Any recommendations for a good heatsink/fan?
Hardwa Abit KT7A mobo (socket A i think!), Athlon TBird 850 (not
overclocked).
Preferably i'd like one that can take a higher spec CPU as I'm thinking of
upgrading in the next few months to a faster athlon


Thanks
Paul

on that one? zalman flower and you might even be able to ditch the fan
alltogether.

Zalman's socket-A compatible revision of its impressive
7000Alcu would be a very good choice. Visit their site
at http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/intro.htm to check
whether it will fit your motherboard, though..

Another good option would be Thermaltake's "Silent Boost"
heatsink. It utilizes a slightly alterated version of Panaflo's very
quiet 80mm L1A fan, and it should reduce the noise in your
computer quite nicely..

While we're at it, www.silentpcreview.com is a very qualitative
site with advice, reviews, and recommendations on silent computing.
So I'd recommend it wholeheartedly for your future PC-silencing
ventures..
