Hi can anybody recomend a new heat sink and fan for my A7n8x deluxe
running athlon 3000. I ran the asus probe software and the cpu is running
65oc and over 73 under load. the die temp measured in motherboard monitor
is well over the 85oc that AMD recomend. I want one I can clip on rather
then removing it all from the computer.
I was looking at the NorthQ 3310BL UFO, 80mm Fan, 17-25dB but im not sure
if it will fit above the capacitors near the socket plus the heatsink for
the northbridge is quite close as well. at the moment im running the
stock AMD unit that came with it.

Maybe another square (block) heatsink would do but a bit taller ?
Thanks for your help

Dear Keith,

I don't think Newegg ships to UK, but, you can perhaps benefit from their
customer reviews.

Here are four highly rated units for Socket A:

A bnuch more with good reviews:

Not sure if this Zalman will fit, but highly rated:

Newegg's site is very useful, since there are clear photos of all the
heatsinks, you should be able to see if the heatsink's shape will fit your
case/motherboard.
