What is best for cooling for cpu?

Jazz_UK · 12 Apr 2008 at 21:26

Hi,

Built a computer a few years ago with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775) as the cooler for the cpu.

Recently it has been causing some heat issues and I wondered before I remount it for the umpteenth time if there was something better on the market... possibly a bit lighter that I could replace it with.

Needs to be quiet as PC is in living room

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

No idea about lighter, but you can't get any better for air cooling than the Tuniq Tower 120 or the Thermalright Ultra 120 range

I have the aforementioned AC7, and I've had no trouble, but if I had to change, I'd go for the Tuniq.

I was thinking of getting the Asus Silent Knight II for my E6600.
