Which Cooler?

hlxbravo · 31 May 2006 at 18:43

Just had a look at the coolers for sale on here at Overclockers and there are that many I am sort of perplexed as to which one to go for :confused:

, I mean some are only about a fiver and some are a lot more, I suppose the old adage about getting what you pay for applys here.....I have a socket 939 and want to spend about £20 on one, although I may push it a little higher, so if you could post your views/experiences of a particular one, even if its just to say keep away from it, just to steer me on the right road. Many thanks.

Thermaltake Sonic Tower or Big Typhoon.

I have both... Big Typhoon is better, Sonic is Cheaper, but you *may* need a 120x25mm fan for it (Just zip-tie it in the middle)

I have a Zalman CNPS9500, which is excellent (and a new awesome-looking one has just come out).

Most people will say get a scythe ninja, although you should also look at the scythe mine. This is lighter, easier to fit and performs better than the ninja.

Another vote for the scythe mine, i got this cooler to have a go at overclocking my A64 3000 newcastle, now running quite happily at 2500mhz temps are 28 idle 48 load (bearing in mind my case is like spaghetti junction and i could do with improving airflow) very easy to fit and also you have the option to fit a bigger fan if needed i'm well impressed with it.
