x2 3800 Cooler

xknight2000 · 18 Jun 2006 at 19:29

I have an x2 3800 and was wanting to change the cooler to a better and quiter one than the standard cooler i have at the moment. I was thinking of a Zalman CNPS9500-AM2 but would prefer a cooler with blue led's to keep with the look of the rest of my PC.

Can anyone recomend a cooler that is just as good but with blue LED's or is there a way to change the colour of these LED's.

Thanks.

AFAIK your current HSF should be sufficient, thats a good cooler your using ther so im wondering why your loads temps are so high! Not catastrauphic obviously but still high as my X2 only hits 46C max load. My OC is 2.4 too so only 100Mhz under yours, i'd look for other reasons for the high temps before getting a new cooler IMO

EDIT: My cooler is built more more silence and effeciant cooling rather than yours which just is excellent at out and out air cooling, so i would expect lower load temps thans mine for example
