Best 939 cooler from Scan

[zulander]

Ordering some parts from Scan so may as well get the cooler as well. But don't know what to get, I need something as quiet as possible preferably all the time, that still moves a fair bit of air and ideally I don't what to spend loads on a Zahlman. Its going on 939 Athlon 3500+ cheers for the suggestions

I've got an Akasa 855 on my 939 3200+ and it keeps the temp at 28C, seems to be ok, and quite cheap too (£8 odd). Not sure if they're suitable for over 3400s though...

This one looks good. Also it's the customPC choice for 939 HSF.

The one above and this. These are apparently two of the best.

Ur links point to a Venice vs Sandy comparison ???

I am in the market for a cooler a well, would like it to be quiet.

The Akasa AK-862 is fantastic for the price. Mine cools my A64 3000+ to 34C idle with the fan on the lowest speed. The 92mm fan is excellent. Load temp is 42C without the fan speeding up.
What I love is that it's nothing flashy, miniscule fins, curved design, heatpipes etc., it's just a back to basics lump of metal - but it WORKS.

Bargain for £10. I use it in every 754/939 system I build.

It's a shame Scan don't do the entire Zalman range. I can hear neither of the Zalmans I use above the sound of other fans in the pcs.

The CNPS9500 is one of the best in Scan.. abiet the hefty pricetag..

When ran with a SilenX 120mm on exhaust.. u can barely hear anything going on.. and it keeps my new 3200+ at stock running 18C idle and 27C on load with the lowest fan speed with C&Q OFF..

Previously my my 3D Cooler Rocket Pro did 23C idle and 34C load on 3500+ at stock.. and 31C idle and 55C load on 2.7Ghz overclock.

My XP-90C with a tornado on my other rig did 17C idle and 25C load on my 3000+ on stock while a 2.6Ghz overclock warrants 25C idle and 48C load.. but its a rachet with the 90cfm tornado..

XP-120 is the better version iirc, uses a 120mm fan aswell, meaning more airflow & less noise.

EDIT; Dunno if scan stock them.

Damn sorry, I meant to link to this. It's cheap and sweet.

Thats the one I am thinking of getting

AMD's cooler that's designed for the FX range is a fantastic cooler. Heatpipes galore and quite a quiet fan for a change.

Other coolers that people are saying are good are the following ;

Use the Evo33 myself - fan turned down low all the time, temps never go above 38 (which is only about 4 degrees above system temps with an Opteron running 2800 24/7. Noise level is fine 23.5db at low setting, the chipset fan is noisier on the mobo. I've had a few Zalmans, venus 12, XP120 and a few others and this is as good as any I've had. The only other one I'd consider is the 9500 and maybe the Big Typhoon although that seems to be a git to put on. Decent review here
