CPU cooling

[sKwaL]

I was wondering whats the best CPU cooling system as of Heatsink + fan?

As of price too.

[Exeodus]

for what cpu????

478 P4 2.8Ghz

Price, well between 25-50CDN

For overclocking I presume? Probably a XP-90C with a nice high flow fan, but thats over 50cnd. Zalman 7700cu would be a nice choice too, but not as good as the XP-90C, but cheaper.

not the xp-90c no way the xp-90 ftw

not the xp-90c no way the xp-90 ftw

Please tell me your opinion on the differences of the two then. I'm not disagreeing, but Copper usually has the upper hand over Aluminum (higher heat capacity). Or you mean price to performance ratio?

i bought the Gigabyte G-power cooler.its awsome.dropped the temp about 10-12c.and also very quiet.full rpm are about 2000-2100 but i use it at 1300-1400 rpm.fantastic..

the latest zalman aero flower looks like a work of art.. he he he.. if u have a window in your case its worth the price just cos of what it looks like.. nice and quiet too..

i have four green and blue leds pointing at mine.. it kinda shimmers and glows like what one imagines a nuclear reactor would.. he he..

if u dont have window in your case.. its a shame to hide it.. just leave it on show next to your computer and use a cheap and noisy cooler to cool the cpu.. he he he

zalman 9500 is nice but it is expensive and also another nice thing is it is very light compared to the xp 90c so if u do a lot of lan parties consider the 9500

and also it scored about the same cooling as the xp90c

i agree on that am using the zalman 9500 right now , and i can overclock my clawhammer core amd 4000+ to a 2.8 ghz without any sweat and the temps have not gone above 50c under load , if i keep it at 2.6 they stay aorund 44-48c under load and idle at 31-32c , i am very happy with this cooler , but keepin my core to 2.5 ghz since i really dont see the need yet , things run amazingly smooth anyways ! :rockout:
