FauxCarnival Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I have just bought a Athlon64 3000+ (Socket 939) and an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. What is the best air based cooling for my CPU? I am an overclock fan. XP-120 + Vantec Thermoflow 120mm fan Zalman CNPS-9500 ??? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarphace Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 What is the best air based cooling for my CPU? I am an overclock fan. By no means am I an expert, in fact, I have only used one air cooling system other then an OEM sync. However, I bought an AeroCool HT-101 and it's lowered my CPU temp from 10-25F depending. And there are plenty of reviews on it out there with nothing but good to say about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celcius Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 The Coolermaster Hyper6 with dual fans is great. It's not loud, fits most motherboards, and cools excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 571800[/snapback] dont use a fan with thermal sensor like the vantec thermoflow as a fan on your heatsink. your fan will have a hard time regulating the rpm with respect to the temperature it measures and all i got to say is, whatever heatsink the d00d recommended, i wont say there is "the best" heatsink cos each of them will differ by 1-2C in terms of performance.. that is negligible to me ah. just use your budget, mobo compatibility and case spacing as a guide and you be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
