CM Hyper48?

[moggy006]

Hi guys,
My Q9450 is here on Tuesday along with new board and memory, and when i discover my PSU doesn't have enough juice, i'm thinking of maybe getting a new cooler at the same time?

I have an old Coolermaster hyper48 and was wondering whether you guys reckon it's worth getting a TRU 120? Is the hyper48 particularly dated now?

Cheers.

As another alternative, i rather like my Zalman 9700 NV (big tritium one). It cools my Q6600 overclocked to 3.3ghz very well so should do a 9450 easy - also nicely made

Thanks for the reply, i'll keep that one in mind

Not sure about how dated the Hyper48 is, but a lot of people on this forum seem to like either the TRU 120E or the Tuniq Tower 120 (which OCUK use in some of there pre-built systems). There seems to be an issue with the design of the base on the TRU 120E, so the Tuniq Tower 120 gets my vote.

Try it first and see how good/bad it is. Has to be better than the stock cooler with all that copper.

Sounds like a plan, any idea what sort of temps would be good for idle/load with something like the TRU / TT / Zalman 9700 so i can see how much of a difference it's gonna make?

I have a Tuniq tower which is cooling my Q6600 clocked to 3.6GHz. Temps around 60 under load.
