Good CPU cooler for LGA775?

David9799 · 16 Jul 2006 at 04:25

Can anyone suggest a good AIR CPU cooler for LGA 775 that will work on motherboard Asus P5W DH?

I need one that will fit in my case so one of them giant coolers are out of the question.

I would like a low profile cooler not really worried about how much noise it makes and one with a blue led would be nice. Right now i'm using Intels stock cooler.

Thanks!

Only if you ahve enough space around it, I presume you mean not a tower cooler. Otherwise this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Zalman_CPU_Coolers.html#aHS_2d017_2dZA meets your requirements but costs a bit more (smaller than the thermaltake) but you would ahve to buy a 775 mounting kit which I have seen for around £4

Reviews of the Thermaltake Orb's not very impressive

I'd go with the proven Zalman's in particular CNPS8000 Ultra Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler (HS-022-ZA) (here) :cool:

Does a CPU cooler disturb the air flow of your case? I mean they stick out more than a stock intel.

The dont stick out more though, the zalman 8000 shown there is 6cm high, maybe 1 or 2mm higher than the stock cooler. The thermaltake is 6.6cm and the zalman with a blue led is 6.2cm high. They are simply wider which will not effect air flow... not that it would make a huge amount of diference anyway
