AthlonXP 2400 + and Alpha PAL 8045?

Hi there,

currently I own an AthlonXP 1800+, which is cooled by an Alpha PAL 8045 Heatsink + GlobalWIN Cooltium Power Fan.

When idle, my CPU runs at just 31 °C, and at 42 °C under full load.

I would like to buy an AthlonXP 2400 + - but I need to know if my heatsing + fan are still strong enough to cool it down properly.

Some data:
GlobalWIN Cooltium Power, 47 CFM / 1331 L per minute (79,9 m3/h)

PAL8045U <FAN : Expulsion>: 0.28 deg C/W
PAL8045U <FAN : Induction>: 0.32 deg C/W
(http://www.micforg.co.jp/en/c_pal8045e.html)

Thanks and best regards,

Adagio ...

Your Alpha sure is enough for that

The Alpha is still enough indeed, but you really should get a better fan, 47cfm is quite pitiful
I have an YStech 80mm fan which has whopping 77cfm and at the same time is still quite silent (only 30db), so I can only recommend it
