Best cooling for fx60?

nirok · 29 Jan 2006 at 12:40

I have got an fx60, on an A8N -32 delux mobo. There are so many different fans and heatsinks, but which is known as the best cooling solution? I dont want water cooling, I will try and overclock the fx60, but that is not a priority, I want the quietest, but most effective heatsink and fan. Thanks

The Scythe ninja seems to get pretty good reviews, or the zalman 9500

will the scythe ninja fit on the a8n 32 delux with a fan? as that mobo already has cooling pipes and stuff on already, and the scythe is pretty big, does anyone know if both the heatsink and cooler will fit?

I would recommend the freezer pro, on the basis its good and well cheap, but you dont seem to have a problem with spending huge amounts of cash!

thanks for the help, but i think i would like to go for the ninja, as It seems to be the best around according to most people and reviews. But i really need to know if it is going to fit on my a8n32 dx mobo with the 120mm fan attached? thanks

I've seen a picture of one attached to an A8N Premium and all looked good so I'd imagine it would be ok on the A8N32 aswell.

Well Ive bought one now, so I hope it fits !!!!

Hi

Nice PC nirok but your sig is a little big - you're only allowed 4 lines or a picture, 400x75 pixels, with one line underneath

Arctic freezer pro won the best cooler award in this months custom PC, beating the zalman. The only one that performed better was the Gigabyte Gpower pro but that is loud @ full speed.

nirok · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:39

sorry , didnt realise there is restrictions on the size of the sig, but makes sense. cheers

Thermalright SI-120 for the WIN!

I noticed that this months CPC didn't include any Thermalright heatsinks in their roundup?

Raikiri · 29 Jan 2006 at 15:29

too crap

they have reviewed it though i think and the freezer still beats it

Scythe ninja is ******* huge!

Yes it is huge, but it is a bloody awsome cooler

scythe ninja is best but costs a lot. the XS forums big up the Big Typhoon a lot and what those guys say generally passes as law.

nirok · 29 Jan 2006 at 19:20

haha sry, i am the biggest fan of morrowind, and I just had to play oblivion on full spec and some!!! so i went all out and built this pc, im sure i will regret it soon though when im eating out of bins, and sleeping in a card board box, but at least i can play oblivion!!!

nirok · 29 Jan 2006 at 19:21

i know now everyone is gonna say, y didnt u just buy an xbox360, but its not the same to me, also i will use it for loads of other games and stuff

Scythe ninja rules! It should fit fine as although it is big the base is quite compact. It isn't too expensive really, i got mine for £32 which i think is worth it. Keeps my 3700 at 20-26 semi-idel
