WTB: Thermalright SI-97

Gillian Seed · Post by **Gillian Seed** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 4:52 am

As subject really...

I'd like to buy a Thermalright SI-97 to help quiet my hot/loud/overclocked Athlon XP.

Paypal preferred... unless anyone can find one for sale online.

I didn't find an SI-97 for sale but I took a look at the recommended heat sinks list and found this:

Zalman 7000 that works on socket A. Review at http://www.silentpcreview.com/article92-page1.html

I'm not a fan of that HS style but if you can't find the 97...

Indeed the Zalman does come highly recommended. I had been holding out for an SI-97, but it appears they're rarer than hen's teeth!

I was trying to avoid the Zalman type however it looks like I have little hope of finding a SI-97.I hope the Zalman will perform better/quieter than my swiftech mcx462. Its not able to cool sufficiently well at the level of noise I'd like!

Thanks for your help!

You'd really want a si97a but they are discontinued, you might try posting in a few fs/ft threads, ars, amdmb, here, eocf, etc. I saw on on ebay a while back for full price $30 nib.

I don't know if you can use this, but I've got a brand-new-in-the-box, never unpacked Thermalright XP-90. According to the box, it'll fit socket 478 or K8.
