Need something I can find today, and have only CompUSA, BestBuy,
Office Depot, and Circuit City within "reach".
Found one that sounded good on C City, but 2 out of 3 reviews say
it doesn't fit well and so didn't cool. (Who knows how well they
were installed.) It was a Mad Dog Copper Plate Cooler. Flows
~30+ cfm, is an 80mm fan, turns 2500.
Mine that just went bad is only a 63mm fan, turned a tad over 5000,
don't know the cfm, kept the cpu under moderate use in the mid
80F to mid 90F range in a low to mid 70F case ambient.
C USA has an Antec (I've got 2 Antec Smart Fans on the case and
they're doing splendidly) but says it's not "rated" for that high of
a speed processor, and only for P3's and AMD's - up to "XP 3200"
whatever that means, but is the right size so that I could just replace
the fan without messing with replacing the heat sink.
Couldn't find the cfm or rpms.
Want one with a 3 wire hookup so I can hook to the board so it'll
monitor rpms etc.
Thanks for any clarification / suggestions!
