I'm planning to get a Barton XP2800+ cpu OEM, I have about £20 to spend- what's the best CPU fan and Heatsink I could get for it at this price?
After all, I like my games, meanibng stressful loads, and I don't want it overheating- I like an nice cool PC! :D

You're all talking complete and utter crap! Nothing's more effective than water! Just splash it on!
No mate increasing the thermal conductivity of your material always yield faster surface heat transfer. It's because dH at the surface is always higher because the lost energy is being replaced faster. There's no way aluminium fins can be more effective than copper fins, I'm sorry.
No it actually is. Copper is more conductive of heat, and so moves it away from the source faster, but takes longer to cool down as a result.
Aluminium is less conductive of heat, and so is slower to move heat away from the source, but it also cools faster than copper. Hence the increasing amounts of hybrids with copper bases and aluminium fins.

That has got to be untrue.

It isn't the best of coolers. But it does outperform the Aero 4.
I have one. I bought it mainly for looks. And it looks amazing.

Dont even bother with the Jet 7, its cooling power is poor considering how expensive it is.

Dont even bother with the Jet 7, its cooling power is poor considering how expensive it is.

Well... I think the Zalmans are the best designed for passive cooling but it still ain't much. Honestly I can't guarantee anything will work. However an SLK-800 with a 92mm Papst fan should be fine if you want quiet.

The most expensive Thermalright you can find.

Is passive cooling any good? Not looking to over clock, but after running SiS I discovered my CPU runs about 50c quite often. Currently only using the standard AMD supplied cooler (XP2400+) as trying not to invalidate my warranty buy using thermal paste!

Was looking at one of those myself or the Coolermaster Jet 7 ACB-V83, can decide weather to go for the "Sexy" jet engine look or the "Hunk a Copper".
Is passive cooling any good? Not looking to over clock, but after running SiS I discovered my CPU runs about 50c quite often. Currently only using the standard AMD supplied cooler (XP2400+) as trying not to invalidate my warranty buy using thermal paste!
