what cpu fan?

That's Athlon XP's...I guess it's kind of like some video cards overclock more than others. It's just not worth taking a chance IMHO. Like I said...that's straight from AMD and the cooler the better. =)

Still, if he's not getting issues, then why spend the $$$?

ThermalTake Silent Boost HANDS DOWN!!!

Zalman CNPS3000-Plus, CNPS3100-Plus, or CNPS3100-GP(Gold Plus)

Or CNPS7000A-AlCu or CNPS7000A-Cu

Effective and Quiet

The 3000 series can be made even quieter with the substitution of Antec Stealth fans for the stock Zalman ones.
