Best CPU Fan???

[doglips]

Getin ready to buy a AMD 3800 939 socket....what the best Heat sink/fan? Zalman???? ......Thermaltake????? And yes I'll be OCin...

I chose the (3x120mm radiators) BigWater 745 water cooling kit complete at $145... keeps my overclocked Opteron 175 under 40C/47C while running 1.45volts at 2.64GHz

The Thermaltake Big Typhoon and Zalman CNPS9500 are the best air-coolers out there, with the Big Typhoon being a bit better IMHO due to its huge 120mm fan.

I use thermalright XP-90 with a panflow 92mm fan. Does the job and has the fan power for those very hot days.

All you got to do is move to a colder climate and use a stock cooler, its working for me, But thermal take has some really nice ones.

Something tells me that getting a new cooler would be cheaper and slightly less dificult than moving.

That something is called 'common sense'.

Can't forget Arctic Cooling. They make some great coolers.

 

[Anoobis]

Agreed. The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 performs nearly as good as Zalman's and Thermaltake's solutions yet costs much less. It is also AM2 compatible should you choose to go that route.

Now that serious suggestions have been made, it is now time for a satiracle comment. Tear the cooling fan out of a commercial air conditioner on top of a sky scraper and mount it to an enourmous copper heat sink strapped to the support beams of your house. That will cool your CPU..... Yeah.

Arctic Cooling Pro 64
1) mine works great
2) about half the price of a Zalman

I really like the idea of the VapoChill Micro. I already have a cooler so replacing would be :twisted:

Their low noise fan looks like the silent cat. Interesting.. Also the install bracket does not look like the easiest to install. I always wondered why they make it so hard to install.

The zalman cnps9500 is ok. I liked the 7700 better because it kept the video card and mem cooler. I would go with the thermaltake.

So when you break, you have to buy a new one. Instant profit!

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 installs easily within a few minutes. No motherboard removal is necessary.

I have the freezer 4, and it's just a simple clamp on installation. It fits so tight, I thought I was going to break something though.

You're right, I was using one before my water cooling kit but I have replaced the fan with the Silverstone FM121 and makes it a whole lot better.
