I have an older system which I'm finally getting around to silencing and the last item I need to silence is my P3 1.2Ghz Tualatin. I'm looking to remove the stock heatsink/fan and replace it with a fanless heatsink, using indirect airflow via a quiet case fan.
I can't find any SLK-800, SLK-900 heatsinks but I've found the following three affordable heatsinks and was wondering which one would be the best for this CPU:
Zalman CNPS6000-AlCu
Zalman CNPS6000-Cu
Thermalright SLK-700
Thanks in advance
Help with older CPU heatsink choice

Hello,
I could be wrong, but wouldn't a Socket A HS that uses the three clips be compatible? I don't think the 6000 series Zalmans were particularly effective. I think a 80mm Socket A would be better:
