Extreme Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 I have a question for you all which is the best CPU cooler to spend my money on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Be a little more specific. Do you want to spend $10 or $100? There are a lot of coolers to choose from in between that range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FxXP Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 If you have that much to blow, go for watercooling. If you don't want to do watercooling, a Thermalright SLK900 with a Vantec Tornado fan will work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 I am a bit to go for watercooling due to peoples comments on new motherboards etc due to water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDoGG Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 a Thermalright SLK900 with a Vantec Tornado fan will work. Thats what I'm using to cool my P4 @3.6 and it never gets over 49C full load Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Sounds good to me was it easy to install do you have to remove board etc etc, or can you use the existing P4 mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 nope not an easy install. Gotta take everything out. Install the new mount and then install everything back in case. The heatsink is heavy, so it needs its own mount not the stock one that came with your p4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already has a Thermalright SLK947U with a Vantec 92mm fan which is better than the SLK900 with a fan.
