Heatsink and Fan Advice

[Danger Phoenix]

We have just built a new PC for one of our housemates and he is finding the stock HSF on the AMD X2 6000+ too loud and temperatures are at 40 degrees on idle. What good after market coolers are available for AM2? He has an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe and a NZXT Hush case, if that makes any difference?

both the tuniq tower and thermalright ultra extreme 120 should fit the MB, question is are they too expensive and will they fit in the case

Probably best just going for an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro.

 

[Danger Phoenix]

Neither of these will fit the case

I was looking at:

arctir cooling freezer 64 i recon. cheap and very good.

not sure if that scythe is any small ? as it uses 92 mm fan so does the artic.

if not artic cooling alpine 64 not as godo as above but better then stock cooler and is prety quiet and small http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-020-AR&tool=3

recent review on andtech said superb buy for the rpice

Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro is TOO big! The Scythe Ninja Mini uses a 80mm fan!

Ideally we want one that blows the hot air out the back and not down onto the motherboard...

See review.

The Thermalright Ultima-90 isn't far off it's big bothers, and isn't as big.
