I'm building one with a 2600+ with a 333 FSB and I'm using a Swiftech MCX462+ and a CCFL-wrapped 80mm fan because I'm going to overclock the living dog do-do out of it. Best you can do using air. As far as compounds go, I only use Arctic Silver III, regardless of what I put together. Right now, I'm playing with a K6/2 450mhz cranked to 550 and so far it's stable at 51C under load with a cheap stock aluminum HSF. Can't get that with the cheap stuff.

Volcano 9s are very good at maintaining the CPU cool. But they are noisy as a 747 taking off.

I have found the Speeze unit I mentioned to be a very effective HSF and though they only list it for a 2200, Given the performance of it on the last five builds, I think it would work fine on the 2800. It is very quiet and has an 80mm fan and very excellent workmanship. I would try it, and if your system ends up running a little hotter than you would like you could step up to a higher flow fan.
Given the fact that this HSF is 8 bucks plus shipping, even if you had to go to a higher capacity fan it would still be less than the Swift or Thermaltake. |

Alpha Pal 8045 with the 80mm whisper fan if your mobo is one of the supported ones. My XP1600 is very cool and quite.
