Been meaning to upgrade these for ages, and I'm finally getting around to doing it. I've an FX-55, and a 7800GTX, both running on stock cooling.
I'm sticking to a black and red (evil :D ) colour scheme, and the Zalman FS-C77 Fatal1ty CPU Cooler caught my eye.
Anyone have one? And if so, what're the noise and temp levels like?

As for the GPU, I was looking at either the Arctic Cooling Accelero X1 or the Zalman FS-V7 Fatal1ty Cooler.
Again, anyone who has one, input is welcome.

And on a final note, just to finish things off, I was going to pick up 3 Akasa 120mm Red LED Fans for my case.

Thanks in advance folks.
 
Don't get the Zalman FS-C77 Fatal1ty CPU Cooler, its WAY overpriced and not great at cooling! The Thermaltake Big Typhoon 4 in 1 Heatpipe CPU Cooler is much better and cheaper, though doesn't really fit your colour scheme.

Infact the Entire Fatal1ty range is overpriced and underperforming, they're just the cheaper Zalman products with a different colour scheme (and faster fans I'd heard) plus the guy looks like Timmah! off South Park:

The Arctic Cooling X1 can be had for £14 inc VAT if you shop around, which is a blatant bargain :)

The Akasa fans are excellent :)

ROFL he does a bit :D

I wasn't buying them because of the name, I generally hate him. I was just mostly after the colour.
Guess I could just go for an SI-120 and throw another one of those Akasa fans on it.
 
Yeah but I'm looking for red LED fans. Or if I did go for the Ambers, how hard are those LEDs in the casemodding section to make work?

I would get the akasa ambers instead, they tend to be quieter and push more air

Oops thought he meant the Ambers earlier, not paying attention today, the Ambers are great, not sure about the LED fans.
