Verran Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 For that budget, I'd go with the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme. It's pretty much the best cooler out there, and well within that cost range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 If you can find a Scythe Infinity (or Mugen, as it is called in some places like Germany), that should do you good. Zalman makes some decent coolers, I dislike them though, as I have had bad luck with them. If at all possible, try to get some sort of a Thermalright cooler, they are usually the best.

spectrascope Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I have seen a lot of complaints lately on newegg about Asus 's coolers so I wouldn't use one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 A few of those asus coolers remind me of the tuniq tower. I guess that cant really be a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 The Silent Square Pro looks pretty decent What's the price like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
get_saif Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) hi guys, i have done some findings.. the place where i live, there are only coolermaster products, and on top of that only 2 models are available. those are. 1). Gemini-II ( RR-CCH-ANU1-GP ) this is the part number the guy gave me. on the main site its ( RR-CCH-ANU2-GP) i searched , didnt find difference. 2). HyperTx-2 ( RR-CCH-L9U1-GP). after reading reviews and stuff, i think the first one is better. but its huge, almost to 1 kg, with the 2 x 120mm fans. price for me here is around - $65 + tax. so what u guys think. is it good? supports dual and quad. http://www.coolermaster.com/products/produ...te=1&id=140 and one more thing i forgot to mention , that the company is offering it without the fans.

hardnrg Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 The GeminII looks ace... and looks like it would cool your ram and power mosfets too... the HyperTx2 looks like the over-rated AC Freezer type hs/f which sucks... as long as you can fit the GeminII in your case, I'd go for that one... 120mm fans can be cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNeed4Speed Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Get_saif, Try the Freezer Pro 7, it's tanfastic!!!!! With ASUS MoBo it can regulate the fans RPM's and still keep it very COOL ! QX6850 QUAD Extreme, ASUS Striker Extreme, 8GB Mushkin, 8800GTX, Physx Accelerator, BluRaySPD7000BD runs at about 22C to 32C so far. Check it out and find the lowest price ~~ $ 20.00 bucks. Good luck, TNeed4Speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
