What si the BEST possible heat sink I can buy.. and where can I get it... also what is that best fan out there.. price and how loud it is doesnt matter... my video freezes after running a screen saves for like 30minutes... I dont know why.. I was thinking it might be the power saving options in windows but I set them all so it wouldnt use any power saving option.. my card runs 47 degrees Celcuis... kinda hot but it is overclocked a little... I even tried underclocking with the same results...

It's a matter of opinion as to what the best fan is. I kind of like the Chrome Super Orb from Thermaltake. Click on the picture for more info.

Alpha pal 6035 and Artic Silver Thermal compound.


Duron 700@1,000mhz.
Epox-8kta2 motherboard.
Alpha pal 6035 heatsink and fan.
Here are a couple of sites that will fill your cooling needs.
They have benchmarks,and install guides,both have an excellent reputation and are very fair,if your not satisfied.

GlobalWin Fop38-1 ain't bad either, got the loudest 60mm fan on the face of the earth. I'd agree with Alfie on the Alpha overall, though. It has a copper base, which will be a much better heat conductor than aluminum.
