Thanks overclockers for not making my life easy!
I have finally decided to get a PII 720 & have decided that my little AC 64 won’t be up to the job.
So am in the market for a new CPU. Having spent the past 3 hours going around in circles trying to decided what to get Ill open it up.
The main problem I have been having is that the majority of the review sites have one or the other but never them all.
So far I’ve been looking at :
Prolimatech Megahalems Performance CPU
(going to have to spend a further £8 on a Retention Kit For AM2)
Xigmatek Thor's Hammer S126384
(ruled this out as it relays on a retention bracket & they don’t make a bolt through kit)
Scythe Mugen 2
(seems good back for buck with a decent fan)
Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir CPU Cooler
(very mixed reviews & typical my luck is out of stock)
ThermoLab Baram
(Also mixed reviews)
Now before half of you faint I have had a True for about 2 days but didn’t come with an am2 bolt through kit, which really put me of them.
Also I do like a cooler to be compatible with a wide range of sockets for free as the majority of above are. Also as this will be used on am2 system I will only use a bolt through kit on it & not a retention bracket.
So opinions please
Ps as a poor student & just after a stable everyday clock I don’t wont to pay £20/£30 more for the sake of 3/4c
Thanks in advance
