The Shootout- Best 939 CPU Cooler

Stock AMD, 29'c unloaded, never creeps past 40'c even when stressed. Normally hits 35'c after game playing and thats an Opty 144 at 2.5GHz. :cool:

Thermaltake Big Typhoon.

A) Because I got one.

B) It's big, but not as big as the Ninja I believe and utilises a copper base.
C) Temps are under 40C on idle and rarely goes over 45 during gaming.

However, it's a bit of a pain to install than the other coolers I believe.

But it looks impressive.

Do you only get the heatpipe cooler with a 4200 and upwards? Didnt seem to get a heatpiped cooler with my 3800+....?

scythe ninja. just makes so much sence. keeps airflow nice and simeple. thru the front of the heatsink (not from the top) and straight out the back of the case. Keeps system temps down and keep's a 3ghz opteron cool as well

it's called.....myguard lol. I have to use it as its the only thing that works on the sodding motherboard lol. Speedfan will sometimes work, but 8/10 times it'll crash the pc on startup.
