I picked up a NMC 8TTX+ motherboard (German version of the Epox 8KTA3+) and a Athlon XP-M 2600+ (AXMG2600FQQ4C, 45W), but am still trying to source a good CPU cooler for the system that will:
- fit the awkward placing of the capacitors around the CPU socket;
- isn't painfully loud;
- still can be picked up without breaking the bank;
- is available in Europe.
CPU specs: https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Mobile% … G2600FQQ4C.html
I found a few that don't seem to be very HQ:
- Adaptec ACC-9500
- StarTech cooler (is supposed to be very loud, but maybe with a fan change?): https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B00006B8DB/
- Hama Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 TC (probably a problem due to its shape): https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B0009V6P8G/
I really hope somebody here can share a better alternative!
