Hi,
I need some help/advice please.
I have a Asus MB (M4n78 PRO), running a AMD Phenom 955 quad core CPU, and want to change from the stock cooler, due to noise and need/want to overclock slightly.
I have sort of narrowed it down to either a Arctic Cooling Freezer Extreme, or a Cooler Master N520, both of which are under £30 (JUST!).
The case it all sits in is a Cooler master HAF one.
I would 'much prefer' a cooler master n620, but cannot find them in the Uk (anybody know differently?).
What do people think of these 2 (a thermalright 120 is slightly too much money before anybody says). I am sort of limited size wise due to running with memory that has coolers built into them, making them difficult to clear.

Thanks for your time, and this is a genuine enquiry, as I would like to purchase one soon.

Certainly looks like one to think about. Keep getting drawn to the Cooler Master or Arctic cooling though (have a cooler master case, and have had arctic cooling fans in the past). Do you have the above cooler TipTop? Anybody else have any of these 3 ?

I don't have it yet but will be getting it for my new build after xmas.

My friend has it but he just swapped it for the stock cooler and didn't do any overclocking. He has it on low speed all the time and it keeps the temps down while remaining almost silent in his tiny case. :D
 
Went for an Arctic Cooling freezer Xtreme rev.2. Fits great, and very quiet. No problems with touching anything else nearby (A MASSIVE 3mm from the memory !!! lol)
