Question CPU Fan Recommendation

alright guys and gals. What fan do you recommend for a AMDXP 2600+? The temp right now on it is at 60. I think because i have a fan that is only used for amd chips between 1400+ --> 1900+. So i better change this fan asap.......

Silent Boost over the Volcano 11 anyday! The silent boost is super quiet and a great cooler, it keeps my xp2600 around 40-43c at idle. The Silent Boost is prob a bit more expensive but it is worth it. The noise from the Volcano will get annoying, I switched form a volcano 9.

Personally, I don't care for ThermalTake products. And I'm not a cooling freak...I just use the stock CPU coolers on most of my computers.

I wouldn't really know...are you sure your current heatsink is installed properly and is making full contact with the CPU core?
