For a P4
What's the best cooler for a P4 chip? Under 50 bucks, that is.

I'm using a cooler master heatsink and fan. I don't have the model but it's a pretty basic one with 6000 rpm fan. It's not that easy to find coolers (decent) here in portugal. If i close my case the CPU will easily reach 70 degrees and crash windows.
These are the ones i can get my hands on (unless there's some trustable site i can order from):
- Dragon ORB 3
- Vulcano 6 Cu
- Vulcano 7
- Bunch of Cooler Master coolers
- Artic Silver cooling shiznit thermal paste
My case is huge, has 6 bays and very tall and lots of room for the air to circulate inside, so i find it weird for the CPU to heat so much. I checked the cooler and it's real well fitted, no problems there.

I just put theAlpha PAL8045T Bare Heatsink for 39.95 from Crazy PC. I would recommend this heatsink to anyone who is looking for an affordable replacement for the Swiftek. You can pick up a Panaflo 80mm fan for 12.50 from PC MODS. I have 4 of these in my case right now (2 intake, 1 exhaust, 1 HSF). My Athlon 1700+ runs at 37c idle and never even moves above that. I love my cooling setup and have no reserves about buying any of it.

thanks shorty, but thats gonna work out to an awfully expensive venture (~75-80 dollars canadian) which is more than i want to spend
hehe i already have the volcano 7. it always spins at high speed and is too loud for my liking. i guess i dont have many optionsOriginally posted by shorty420
It was more than I wanted to spend too. But I just saved the money and bought it. If you stll don't wanna do that then I would get the Volcano 7.
