wevsspot Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) +1 for both of hierovision's recommendations based on your budget. Edited April 15, 2010 by wevsspot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttleu Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) thank you for your recomendations so far what i ment by "too hard to fit" is like custom built water cooling, something where you just screw a bracket onto the board and then screwing the fan onto the bracket wont be hard once again, thanks for the recomendations EDIT: okay after looking at a few recomendations by a few different forums which would you recomend? one of these: http://bit.ly/aNdHv2 with two of these: http://bit.ly/cdStjy or one of these: http://bit.ly/aIXpve Edited April 15, 2010 by shuttleu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hierovision Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I'm at work behind a big stinky proxy that doesn't let me see anything eBay. What are the options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenova69 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Noctua all the way!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttleu Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I'm at work behind a big stinky proxy that doesn't let me see anything eBay. What are the options? THERMALRIGHT Ultra-120 eXtreme Rev.C Micro Heatsink with two Scythe S-FLEX SFF21G 1900rpm 120mm S-FDB Case Fan 12cm or Noctua NH-D14 dual radiator Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 For that budget the Noctua is the only way to go. Otherwise I would say the old budget champion the Core Contact Freezer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hierovision Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 For that budget the Noctua is the only way to go. What he said! The TRUE is great, but even with two good fans I doubt it will outperform the stock NH-D14. Even if it does, you can always swap the stock P-12 and P-14 fans for higher-CFM fans (and stay well under $150). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdy284 Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 honestly the stock fans on the d14 will be more than enough to cool that 965 of yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
