2500K Cooling?

[Snooble]

Hey all,

Just bought a 2500K from here, and a
Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) ** B3 REVISION ** mobo.

As it's OEM, I need to get a new heatsink-fan.. (Although I do have a Freezer Pro 7 that I used to use on my q6600, would it fit the new socket?)

What Heatsink-fan is suitable? There're no restrictions really.. using a Coolermaster Cosmos case that's plenty big enough for anything.

Most important points (in this order):
Keep Processor Cool
Cost
Quietness

I'm not too bothered about the noise as have a 470gtx that's loud as is.

Thanks people,

S

Ive bought this:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-041-ZA&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 but havent installed it yet

The fan can be manually controlled with a fan controller that comes with the heatsink which is handy


Any of these coolers also are good:

Great cooler and only £21! For the price it performs on-par and sometimes better than more expensive alternatives. The ones stated above are great too but thought I would throw this in here in case you are on a budget.

Any of the above would do you fine, and since you got the K version, im guessing your going to be overclocking? Then you want to be looking at kmufc77's list he provided.

How would he get on if he gave the AF 7 a go at cooling the 2500k?

Although I do have a Freezer Pro 7 that I used to use on my q6600, would it fit the new socket?

If it's an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 then it will fit socket 1155. All socket 1156 coolers will fit socket 1155.

I would say the titan fenrir which is what I have with that board but you need to DIY the bracket that comes with it to make it fit.

Superv cooler and is so quiet its unbelievable!

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-001-BQ&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 - the non pro is supposed to be good

using the coolermaster 212+ here

thermaltake frio IMO

i had the fenrir but pain in the ass to fit - bracket does need modifying to fit past heatsink on P8p67 board - i sent it back

thermaltake is doddle to fit and giving excellent cooling

 

[FrancesoNoir]

Coolermaster 212+ here, incredibly happy with it for the price. It's quiet and very effective. I'm stable at 4.8 now on low temps.

Hey all,

Spoke to the sales team who persueded me to go the H-50 route! So now I'm going to be doing (easy) watercooling for the first time.. oh gosh.

Hopefully it should all go well, thank you all for suggestions, reason I went H50 in the end was cause it as only £6 more than the cooler I was looking at and space isn't an issue.

Thanks guys.

Likewise on the H50 - not fitted yet but like you got a 2500K to cool. Always fancied watercooling and this offered a perfect opportunity (it was a today only offer last Friday).

H70 is better if you want to overclock.

+1 just add a fan at the back and happy days .
