[cm_uk]

im thinking of possibly overclocking or just concentrating opn getting nicer temps so whats the best cooler and other stuff to get?maybe artic silver?

and artic silver

Thermalright, Alpha or swiftech, dont waste your time on anything else.

On air, Thermalright SP97 & appropriate fan.
AS5 or Shinetsu G751.

[Korky]

any gd swiftec etc waterblock, 1/2" pipe, car heatercore, decent garden pond pump (roughly 700 l/min), big plastic tub and some de ionised water.

Pump in the tub

pump--->heatercore--->waterblock--->into plastic tub (and round again)

Total price prob about £60-80, a bit more expensive than an air cooler, but when u consider such factors as less noise and the ability for the water to keep the temps lower than 45oC no matter what sort of overclock u churn out... id say its worth every extra penny.

If that's your budget (£25 ish) get a Tt Volcano 12 (£18 + p&p at ebuyer).

my coolmaster areo 7+ and artic silver 5 are running 44c load with my 2500 barton @ 2370mHz vcore@1.7V
so the areo 7+ is ok for moderate overclocking

[overfloe]

thermalright.. each model for each league on its own.. the most expensive one is the best, the cheapest one also is the best

[cm_uk]

my mate has an aero7+ and has artic silver 5 and has an overclock around 2.3ghz and the temps are around 35 full load!

Thermalright SLK 800 or 900. Both stellar performers for air. But watercooling rocks.

[Stoo]

Another vote for thermalright here, expensive, but worth it

[malfunction]

I haven't got one but the latest Zalman (7000A Cu) should be a good mix of performance and quiet operation... For what it's worth though the Thermalrights are bloody good. Can't quite decide between the Thermalright SLK-900, the Swiftech MCX462-V and the Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu... I know the Zalman is likely to be the quietest (and *possibly* the best performer at low noise) but I'm still tempted by the other two (though memories of my SK-6 and the delta screamer are why I'm considering the Zalman)...

I ran a SLK800 & a 80mm pabst fan. Quiet & effective! speed control via speedfan. Lurvely
