SMeeD Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) The zalman isnt bad. If I remember correctly, the beetle isnt too great. If its got to be from xoxide I would go with the big typhoon, AC freezer, or an SI-128. There are probably better ones on there, but those are the ones Ive heard good things about.

BTSchnarfy Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Of those 4 I'd go with the Zalman (I have one and it does great). Don't be afraid to look into the Tt Big Typhoon, Scythe Ninja, Arctic Cooling Freezer64 Pro, Thermalright SI-120, or the Noctua NH - U 12. The Freezer64 will be the cheapest solution, though.

Gr4vitas Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 How much does that zalman-cnps9500 hog weigh? Looks like a beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTSchnarfy Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 It really is quite large, but even though it is ALL copper it's not too heavy. I think it weighs in at around 1.2lbs. There are PLENTY of larger and heavier coolers available though (the Scythe Ninja is 1.8lbs IIRC). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehit Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 i have an Arctic Cooling Freezer64 Pro. ambient temp 38. idle 34. load 40. that is at 2.8 GHZ the load gets to 42 at 3.0 GHZ. if i get the room to 30C, i can get the idle to 26, and load to 32C.

Uh8meDoncha Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 I had the Arctic 64 for awhile but it didn't fit into my Antec P180 with the internal GPU fan/duct assembly attached so I switched to the Mini-Typhoon which works alot better. About 3C cooler at idle and full load than the Arctic 64 and it doesn't sit as far off the mobo. I'm also liking the all copper. I would say go with the mini typhoon. Copper is (in most cases) always better... lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 you probably had the freezer64 non-pro, like the one sitting on my desk here. The Pro version is MUCH shorter and a little wider, but it cools a hell of a lot better! Both cool well, but the mini-typhoon is not worth the money, if you get something ever from thermaltake, its gotta be a big typhoon!
