Just feedback really.

Using an antec 1200 with the two optional fans (all on lowest speed) and with a phenom 955 cpu.

30 degrees idle
38 degrees full load (playing L4D)

I really recommened this cooler

whats the 955 clocked at?

dr4g0nf1y · 28 Jul 2009 at 02:35

just it's standard quad 3.21GHz

I haven't desired the need to change it yet

whats the difference between your one and the 9700? since i own the 9700

dr4g0nf1y · 28 Jul 2009 at 03:18

Pretty much the usual. Slightly larger, runs faster, cooler, lighter, 100% copper/no aluminium.

ah ok. Not worth the upgrade just yet then

dr4g0nf1y · 28 Jul 2009 at 03:24

oh no.

I liked the look of this one. what sort of temps are you running?

Hughsy · 28 Jul 2009 at 03:34

35-40 idle in hot room but FAN is running at the lowest possible.
50 ish with load.

Your temps do look good.

It's actually suprising to be honest.

I'm using the two out take fans on the back to cool my plasma screen

It does get warm in this room. Got two computers on the go, two monitors and a 42" plasma. Room's only about 2.5m sq

I can imagine how hot it is.
I'm working in a similar sized office with 4x low specced pcs.
Thank God for the AC..lol

I'm looking at building an AMD for myself. Just waiting for the 965 to come out in mid August. I'm considering all the possible parts and cooler will be one of the things I will purchase before the cpu release.

I got an intel i7 920 already, but too bad i'm more of an AMD fan!
They are more bang for the buck and upgrading it will always be fun knowing you are paying for what you are getting, not just the name and the inflated prices on parts that goes with it!
