Socket 775 air cooler

MangledOne · 02-April-07, 12:23 PM

I have a P4 - 3.8 stock, but it's over heating

Is their any suggestions for an effective air cooler (price per performance) that is also quiet, as the PC lives in the next room and needs to run 24/7

ThermalRight Ultra-120.

I can make a few suggestions!

The Zalman 9500 and 9700 are good choices. The 9700 cools a little better. They aren't the absolute best performing coolers, but they do the job damn well, especially if you arent worried about overclocking. Linkage below.

Newegg.com - ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink - Retail
Newegg.com - ZALMAN 9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - Retail

This scythe cooler is also really popular. Good for overclocking. It probably coolers better than the two zalmans, but its huge and will probably be a bit louder.

Newegg.com - Scythe SCINF-1000 120mm CPU Cooler - Retail

and of course, the tried and true thermaltake big typhoon. Always a popular choice and should certainly lower temps

Newegg.com - Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm CPU Cooler - Retail

And for complete overkill....The Tuniq Tower

I swear by the Noctua NH-U09 or the U12. I first read their review at PimpRig / PCApex(PCApex.com - Noctua NH-U9 - NH-U12 CPU Cooler) and tried it out. Pretty impressive, and dead quiet. The NH-U9F is their newest 09, accompanied by a 92mm fan.

Thanks all

I need to check pricing and most importantly availability, living in south africa does have its draw backs as in what we can get

I will keep the thread updated as to what I can get, and take it from their

Thanks again

I decided to go with one of the zalmans (9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler), and a liquid metal pad, now the temp is 47-50 instead of 60-68
