[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 955616, member: 76888"] Don't buy an expensive cooler for such an old cpu. If it has started making noise just replace the fan and keep the stock heatsink Advantage is 1. Easy install - don't have to clean the old cpu thermal grease with alcohol and then regrease for the new heat sink 2. Cheaper 3. You can reuse the fan when you upgrade (a cpu cooler for that old socket less likely to be reusable) [/QUOTE]
