Hi,

was wondering if there is any point for me to pay extra £15 for the artic cooling freezer pro 64. Just bought that Athlon 64 3200 and just going to be for my HTPC machine so won't overclock or anything.

Noise isn't too much of an issue either as no doubt will always be watching movies etc etc.

Thanks

Set stock cooler to 1600rpm and it's silent with cool and quiet enabled. My HTPC CPU is around 25-29 idle and 100% 41 load (3700+)

thanks will do that

checked and the artic cooler is pretty massive, stands about 11/12 cm high think that is too high for my HTPC case.
