I'm a little partial to these:

It's all copper so it really does the job, however it is pretty loud so you'll have to use one of those zalman-like tiny fan controllers to bring it down a notch.

I have one of those on a 1.4Ghz Tualatin (albeit running at 100Mhz FSB). Seems to be holding up fine even in the Australian summer.

Some of the simpler and more compact Socket A heatsinks are perfect for Socket 370. If your board has the clearance, I recommend one with an 80mm fan (wide range of options, lower RPM and noise).

Of the dozen or so S370 boards I have only one or maybe two boards can fit a Socket A heatsink, and both are Tualatin capable so they were made with larger heatsinks in mind. You'll have tough luck with a LX/BX or Apollo Pro/133 motherboard, for example.

Im using that types of coolers, as well as 370/462 both have the same type of sockets so they will do the job.

From all these the small TT cooler can fin in many small areas. Or you can use also some bigger socket 7 cooler.

Frozen cpu has three nice solid copper coolers for the socket a/370 platforms

Lol that price damn..........
I even did buy my CM Aero 7+ for 25 euros brand new, but that was like 8 years ago, at least is cheaper and bigger..
Better the guy that look for coolers to look for second hand or other model, as 35$ is way too much, even 17$ is too much, as last 4 years i don`t pay much for old hardware.

There are a lot of Socket 370 coolers on Electromyne:

They even had some with throttle controls a few weeks back, but they seem to have been sold out at the moment.
I'm very happy that I still got one. 🤣

I received this one which is perfect - very small at the bottom with a big fan at the top that can run at a low speed:

I don't know if that one is available somewhere else, though. I didn't get a model number.

Hello,

I am after a new cooler for a socket 370, any recommendations?

The board is quite tight between the socket and the ram slots. Also are there any that the clasp uses more than just the middle hook on the socket?

Thanks,
Weebob

Which board do you have? And pics are always welcome of course, especially of the CPU socket and its immediate surroundings 😀

I had 2 favorites, the first being the copper-containing stock sA HSFs (the one with the very many fins tightly packed to each other) and the other being the Arctic Copper Silent 3.
For tighter fits I tended to prefer matching a stock s370 Intel heatsink that had the same dimensions as the CPU socket (so these are a bit more rectangular instead of squarish).

I'd say measure the space around your socket first.
All Socket A coolers that use clamps should hold on the socket, but the space around it could be tight.
Got an CUSL2-C, which has around 83mm x 87 mm clearence around the socket (all around to the closest part higher than the socket itself, like caps)
Some Socket A coolers are bigger or hard to mount on 370 boards.

Its an Intel D815eea2

Cheers!

Thanks for all the responses, Im going to pick up one of the copper startech ones, seem to be going for about £15 on ebay.
