Hey all,
I was wondering what some of the best coolers for a core 2 duo (I current own a 4300 and would like to overclock), but I want something that will handle a core 2 quad in the future aswell. Ive read alot about the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro, and its meant to be pretty good, its a similar story with the Akasa AK-965 which looks great.
The main criteria im looking for are:
- It shouldnt be much louder if any than the stock Intel cooler
- I really dont want to have to take the motherboard out of the case and fit a backplate.
- I want to do some overclocking, Ive heard the 4300 o/c's well, but ive never really done any proper overclocking before.
- In the future I want to upgrade to a Core 2 Quad probably,so Id like it to be able to cope nicely with this aswell.
Ive read about these also:
- Scythe Infinity
pretty big, and some good reviews, but then a bad one from CustomPc?
Scythe
- "NINJA PLUS " 6 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler
Don't know much about this, cant remember where I saw it
- Thermalright Ultra 120
This to be honest looks over the top, its insane!
Incase you need to know I have a P5B-Plus Vista edition, in a Akasa Zen case
Thanks for any help
