Best cooler for core 2 duo!

[mrapoc]

Tunq tower 120 would be my first choice due to kempez recommending it but it seems a bit erm...big is there any similiar performing ones in a smaller size, you see ive started going to lans every now and again (im not too 1337) and im worried about it causing damage...also that thing is fugly in a case with a window

Your ideas please

Or the SI 120 (which I'm pretty sure fits intel boards...pretty sure

Scythe Infinity

Tuniq Tower is one of the best coolers for C2D, but the Big Typhoon is just as good.

However, depending on your motherboard, some coolers may have mounting problems (like a certain kind of G-power and DS3).

atm im looking at the p5b deluxe in a tj05 black with window (why i dont want a massive fugly thing), looking at screenshots of the tuniq tower it covers up half like a quarter of the mobo

Aerocool dominator performs up to and around the Scythe and has a 140mm fan (quiet) and looks sweet through the window

 

[mrapoc]

yea i like things with fans on top - something to look at, so between the beasty aerocool (im tempted) and the thermaltake big typhoon (u get wot design im after) which is the best for quietness but most importantly performance?

 

[FragTek]

The dominator is definately a nice lookin' sink, I would be checkin' that out.

 

[mrapoc]

ive narrowed it down to Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and Cooltek Auras 775, both performing the best here :

 

[FarFarAway]

The Arctic Cooling 7 will perform nicely and is a decent price

hmm its a wee bit noisy though

lol

 

[mrapoc]

im not a silence freak but anything that will drive me crazy with noise will p1ss me off, so would i hear this during normal use / gaming inside my case on my desk?

 

[jakeiswicked]

Hmm i would say Arctic Freezer 7 for performance/price.. if money was no option for aircooling i would get Tuniq Tower and stack 2xsilent 120mms on.. or if you cant find one then a Skythe Ninja

 

[mrapoc]

I got the new-ish zalman aero flower cooler (the 110mm led one) and its not too bad, highest ive got to is 43
