Seb Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Hi guys... i got a new 775 intel cpu and am going great, only it seems to be heating up alot. Ive seen CPU temps of 82 Celcius ( i dint even OC) while DVD encoding while Case temps peak at 20 Celcius. So ive though atbout buying a new CPU cooler rather than the standard stock cooler. The choice has fallen to 2 heatpipe coolers available at the local shops. Option A Thermaltake Silent Tower Total weight 640g Copper Base and Aluminium Fins 3 Heatpipes Heres a usefull review i found online: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article201-page1.html Option B Coolermaster Hyper48 Total Weight 864g Copper base and fins 4 Heat pipes Heres a usefull review i found online: http://www.silentpcreview.com/Sections+ind...-artid-196.html Anybody have any feedback or tips????

DarkScorpion Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Id ditch both, because those cooling towers have a history of bending motherboards ant not being as good for their price. If I were you, Id go with an Xp-120 from thermalright (you'll need to get the adapter kit, too, for socket 775) with a nice 120mm fan. Only problem is that you gotta buy it online (ive never seen a thermalright product in-store <_< ) If you have a problem with buying online, then try to find a Zalman CNPS7700-Cu, I've heard its very good and quiet at the same time.
