Hi im in another dilemma.

As you all know and sick of me saying im buildin a pc.

Im building an AMD Phemon II 965 3.4GHz, which im going to overclock

But i dunno what to do for the CPU cooler

either get a Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir CPU Cooler - £35
or a Arctic Freezer Pro 7 - £20 and spend the other £15 on a better case?

all depends how much you want to overclock and keep low temps. the freezer 7 is ok

Akasa Freedom Tower to split the difference?

Well i want to get to about 3.8 maybe towards the 4.0 mark maybe?

OR i could get the Phemon 955 instead of the 965 and then get then titan and a slightly better case?

Or like superewza and get the akasa freedom tower etc etc

Titan is junk IMO i certainly would not want it cooling a AMD Phemon II x4...go freezer with some mx3
