Cooling for Athlon 1.4

[(Shovel)]

Upgrading to an Athlon 1.4 (best the motherboard can take) but I'm going to need a new heatsink/fan.

Currently I've got a Coolermaster Rated up to 1.2 Ghz.
There will be a GF4 Ti4200 in the box as well as 2 hard drives if that makes much difference.
Motherboard is an Abit KT7A-RAID.

Tips?

Yeah, I'm in the same position. What to do? *cough* Xav! *cough*

I just bought a Zalman flower jobby for my Athlon 1.4 and it cools better than my copper based Taisol did - and it's silent.

Buy one if you are want decent cooling and a quiet PC.

Zalman is good but I just find it a little OTT.

OTT wtf ?

It cools amazingly considering it's not got a hairdryer of a fan cooling it; and the "fan" design of the cooling fins is really well engineered. Maybe not ideal for overclocking, but certainly made my PC quieter than an uber expensive water cooled solution.

The only criticism i have is that it's only held down by a single clip.

Thanks for telling me what I already know

Still find the whole design OTT.

The reasoning behind the design is obvious. But of course, you know that already?

Yes...heat dissipation still I find it an OTT design looking wise.
