Hi,
I need a good cooler for a 775 Intel socket, im looking to overclock the cpu from 2.83ghz to 3.77. Don't really want to spend more than £20...which would be the best? And do they come with thermal paste?
Cheers

2.83ghz by the looks of it, my bad :)

I dunno what to do now! Haha

If I get the freezer 7 its only gna cost me £17
If i get the Xiggy with thermal paste its gonna cost £26.50, bit of a difference :p

I was set on the freezer 7 but not sure now =|
 
It says PWM though? :S
"3-Pin (PWM)"

And ahhhh that makes more sense, to see the bottom of the cooler.
Another thing, in the pic for the Xigmatek, it doesnt seem to have the posts that clip into the MOBO, where as the Akasa version does...CLICK
They both seem pretty much identical specs so which out of those 2 would you go for?

Also, what do you think to this one? CLICK (Am thinking of this one because the price isnt too bad, the base is copper, thermal paste is pre applied, and it looks good ;)) haha

Sorry about the triple post btw haha :)

Sorry to push this along :p but I was hoping to order today and im torn between:

-Xigmatek (22.99 + £3.44 for paste= £26.43)
-Arctic Freezer (£17.99)
-Akasa AK-966 Blue Arora (£24.14)

Which to pick :confused: haha
 
Lol!
Thanks for the input lads, i'll order the Xiggy on its own :p
Shame OcUK don't do the 'Red scorpion' version though, gives it a much nicer look in my opinion!

I'll use nail polish or some white spirit to get the old crap off :p, cus i do have the original intel cooler on it at the moment.
Thanks!
 
Ahahah sounds like a plan to me!
Don't think my gf would approve if she got back from work and I was upstairs, drunk, with her computer in pieces though :p
ahah!

Should arrive tomorrow
I love this free shipping business.
Their shipping prices used to put me off :(
 
Fan arrived today, wahey!
Looks like there's only a limited amount of thermal compound lol, it's in a little plastic packet... XD

Anyways, it says to just slide on the spoiler onto the radiating fin...
But when i do this, the spoiler is very loose and could literllay jst slide out with some vibration...
Surely it should secure itself somehow?
 
thanks for the input mate but ive already got the cooler now :p

Anyone know about this stupid fin on the cooler?
Is it really that necessary?
I know that if i put it on as instructed its jst gonna fall off and rattle around in my comp when I move it lol.
Would it affect performance if i left it off?
Cheers
