what cpu cooler should i buy

[benjock]

i am looking for a cpu cooler with a reasonable noise level and good performance to replace my amd stock cooler which is on my fx 6300.
the options are

Thermaltake Contac 21
Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CO
Deepcool Gammaxx 400 CPU Cooler
Deepcool Ice Wind Pro
Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME Rev.2 CPU Cooler

btw i do not have the option for the coolermaster hyper 212 because it is not on the sight i buy from. i just want to know out of these 5 which has the best performance and whether or not it is loud. on the site i am buying of they are within 5 dollars of eachother so price does not matter.
thank you any advice will be appreciated

The best would be a Deepcool Icematrix 400 if you could find it on your website. The Gammax would be following that. What website and what is your budget and I might be able to find a better on for you.

Well by chart on this page, I would think the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CO is the one to get. You can check out the chart and see if I picked the right one for you.

That is a very good question. I can't find any reviews listing all these coolers together though. My overall impression is that Deepcool coolers generally do not rate very well while Arctic Cooling and Thermaltake both generally do. The Freezer 13 is better than the Freezer Xtreme.

Do you have to buy from that specific site or will any Australian site do? That site is not even on our very good list from member g-unit1111.

PC Case Gear for instance has the Hyper 212 Evo for $35.

it must be from iibuy because i am buying a moniter and speaker system with it. an the reason i buy from them is because they are much cheaper than the other stores its just that it takes them 4 weeks to get the parts to you.

 

[benjock]

an actualy it can be up to $70

Do you have high profile RAM? Like Corsair Vengeance?

The Thermaltake Frio is very good and is on sale for $74.

The Xigmatek Dark Knight for $44 is a good choice.

The Freezer 13 already mentioned is also pretty good.

If space is an absolute concern then this Scythe Orochi will fit with just about anything.

yes i do have corsair vengeance ram as a matter of fact and i think i will go mroe $50 now because i want to get some a case fan. if so is the dark night a very good choice?

Yeah the Dark Knight is pretty good but may not fit with high profile Vengeance. Very few coolers will. The Hyper 212 +/ 212 Evo will but they are among the few I am sure of. The Scythe should fit as well. It's designed for tight spaces.
