Hello o wise ones, I prostrate myself before you in the hope of gleaning some of your expert knowledge.
I have been saving my pennies for quite some time now, as my elderley P4 2.8Ghz PC is starting to chug something awful with new games ( Titan on BF2142 even with all levels turned to low is pretty laggy ) and the good Mods for BF2 like POE2 have to be played on low.
So, I've been saving the sponduliks. I made a vow that I'd try and buy 'Top o the line' ( no flaming please, I'm here for genuine help - not to flash my future e-penis! ). I'm going to build a new rig around a the Quad core QX6700. It's going to be in a Antec P180B case, which will have a full compliment of fans installed.
My question is, which is the best Air cooler for the Quad? I've got a Artic Freezer 7 Pro that I bought ages ago cheaply on deal of the week - but I know that the Quad runs hot! Is it good enough?
I really don't want to water cool.
/me returns to postrate position to await the wisdom of the forum gods.
