Thermalright SI-120 & appropriate fan if you have the £
Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro if you don't.
I ended up getting a Gigabyte one recently from scan and its pretty good at keeping things cool and reasonably quiet. But a thermaltake probably cant be beat and theres always Zahlman, u get what u pay for
Yeah ive heard Thermaltake mentioned, any particular models ?
Big Typhoon should be their trademark..
Also what BUFF mentioned.. AC64 Pro.. Got rave reviews on it as well..
I jumped on the Zalman bandwagon recently and have been really happy with the CNPS9500 and their VF700-Cu..
Hmm would all of these handle slight overclocking or is it unadvisable when just using air cooling ?
They handle quite serious ocing, not just light
Up to what sort of speed per core could i expect to hit safely using say the Zalman NPS9500 (i only give this as an example because its the only one thats been suggested that Scan stock =P ). The motherboard im planning is the A8n32-Sli, Tagan 580watt Psu and 2gig corsair 3500XL memory.
arcti cooling freezer 64 pro, got one and its great! And good value.
Got my Akasa Evo-120, its nice and silent but only slightly better than stock, so I'm going to get me a Thermaltake Big Typhoon from the rave reviews its been getting, Zalman you can't ever go wrong with, and Gigabyte have proved themselves with their latest G Power. From what I've seen though, the Thermaltake has the best performance, and its easy to change the fan for one with higher CFM I believe
tried finding 1 in the Uk recently?Quote:

I know where there is 1 more, if they still have it...... no more stock until 1st Dec earliest. ;)
Maybe others might have pushed the 9500 before, but I only run it on stock using 5v.. and 1400rpm goes oh so quietly to bring the system to a 19C idle and 29C load..
In case anyone brings up my heater problem.. yes, I do have a radiation heater now.. :P
akasa evo cpu coolers are prity gd
Farooqm Where did U get those hard to get them as i have them on preorder at a store taking a long time.Quote:
