    Post Best Alpha heatsink/fan for celeron

    I have to get a better heatsink/fan for my celeron 466 o/c 525 before winter 'cusa I have a fire place (real wood)in my house and in my room it gets hot very hot (over 35C) so the computer will get very hot.Right now it runs at 22C on idle 35C after playing Homeworld:Cataclysm.I have the intel heatsink/fan,and if the computer overheats I'm died. I was looking at the Alpha PAL6035MUC is that a good for what I have:
    mobo:Abit BE6 w/ adapter
    CPU:intel celeron 466 o/c 525
    SC:SB live x-gamer
    GC:voodoo 3 3000 AGP
    RAM:64Mb PC100 SDRAM
    CD-ROM:52x
    CD-RW:Acer 8x4x32x
    HD:WD 13.6Gb 7,200RPM UDMA66
    intake fan
    psu fan
    PCI fan
    and a 10/100 nic


    Also I'm thinking to upgrade I'm a very heavy gamer, some internet,homework stuff

    Either the PAL6035 or the PEP66. It seems the PEP66 will block at least one of your DIMM slots, so keep that in mind. Alpha's are very large.

    how will it block the dimm slot, will it actually hit the slot or will it hit the area where the memory stick should be?

    It will not touch anything. It will simply be in the way so you can not install RAM in that slot.

    That is tough. I would probably go with the RAM simply because you only have 64MB. The video card you have is still adequate to run most games nowadays, but 64MB's can be eaten up very quickly.

    Where did he say he only had 64? I he has 128 then definitely get the GTS2. But, yes, if you only have 64 then get 128.

    Overclock it and keep it cold.
