    Question X2 4400 cooling

    OK so im about to order my cooler for my new 4400, now should i go for either the

    Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro

    or

    Coolermaster Aquagate (Big) Water Cooling System

    Is the Aquagate worth the extra?

    Im going to be buying the Asrock mobo to use my current AGP card an its going in a coolermaster stacker case.

    Thanks

    If you have the space to fit the Arctic Cooling, get it, the Aquagate isn't really worth it to be honest.

    I'd go for the artic, and soend the difference on other bits. TBH the stock heatpipe X2 cooler is pretty good, if you use proper thermal paste.

    When my AM2 X2 4600+ arrived it had a standard (non heat pipe) cooler temps at 55 replaced it with my freezer 64 pro temps at full load now 42.

    Go for the freezer 64 pro.

    i do like the stock 4400 heatpipe cooler, keeps temps nice and low + the fan has a diode so spins up if the case temps rise..

    perfect for me, and i always used to buy an aftermarket cooler.
