jammin Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) I'll chuck in a couple of suggestions. Does your budget extend past $35? Zalman CNPS7700-CU Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Those should both be pretty quiet if that's what you're after.

hardnrg Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 the first one looks like a stock intel cooler design lol... the 2nd one looks like an 80mm heatpiped sink with a 92mm fan on top... coolermaster only have a handful of decent sinks, and those two aren't gonna cut it for a 940 imo you might wanna check out: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835186134 Asetek Vapochill Micro: (17.657CFM) 06-L-0017 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835703008 (67CFM) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835703002 (73.656CFM) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835703005 Zalman 9500: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835118003 Thermalright Ultra-90: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835109127 Thermalright HR-01: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835109133 there's a decent range of prices there... some around the price of the 2nd one you linked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I would recommend you go with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7, I have on in the HTPC downstairs, its awesome and cheap. That coolermaster probably won't perform as good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbp007 Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Yes you're right the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro looks like a quality fan plus it has great reviews ..I'll put that one on top of my list .. i was also looking at some other 92mm socket 775 fans and what would be you guys opinion on the quality and ease of installation ? Here are the ones i was looking at - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835128010 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835118005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835103424 ps..on the blue gigabyte it says that it has fan control and i wanted to know how would i be able to control the fan ? is there a switch on it or something ?
