New HSF for overclocking

lee87 · 21 Mar 2006 at 12:01

Hi, I have a X2 3800+ with the stock cooler and the temps are getting quite high, 59c after a few hours at load.
I'm looking at getting a new hsf, I want it to be good for overclocking and would like it to be quiet when at idle. I will be using the system for folding nearly all the time so it must keep the temp low at 100% load.

I was looking at the freezer 64 pro, but I have a bit more money and want something better.

Want it to be less than £30, any suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks, the SI-120 looks good, i've just had a look around and i've seen a lot of good reviews of it.

I've also heard good things about the scythe ninja, this is supplied with a 120mm fan so it would be cheaper than the SI-120.
Which one would be the better choice?

I've checked and both coolers will fit on my board (asrock 939 dual sata2).

Im still not sure which to choose but will probably get the SI-120 as i've heard it can cool the chipset aswell.

The AC Freezer 64 pro was my first choice but I thought by spending a bit extra I would get better cooling and hopefully get a better overclock.
