which cooler???

[BLUESTAKE]

been reading the threads here about cooling, I don't want to use water yet as still new to this OCing.

The best choices seem to b:-

Freezer 7 Pro or Scythe.

TJS sugested Monsoon2 is this any better or not??

Will b using it on C2D E6600

Tuniq Tower 120 is also a very good choice.

another vote for the tuniq tower 120 here

I have a freezer7 pro and would recommend it as it is brilliant for the price.

I think the tuniq tower's and scythe's are way too big and are overkill for core2duo's really. They also seem to cost a lot.

overkill

is there such a thing when talking about cooling overclocked CPU's ??? :nono:

i know i like to have my cpu running cool n quiet at 3.6GHz

I'm just thinking the heat output of most core2duo's is a lot lower than that of a prescott etc.

All Conroe and Allendale based processors are specified to out put 65W TDP. Equivalent AMD processors are specified at 125W (FX-62) and 89W for the X2 3800-5000+

Intel Pentium D 960 130W

Intel Pentium D 840 130W

My CPU is cool & quiet @ 3.2Ghz with a freezer7 pro on 50% fanspeed.

with 1/2 the cache, the allendales run cooler than the conroes, despite the TDP ratings

 

[equk]

with 1/2 the cache

That makes a lot of difference?

Was 3-4% difference last time I saw a test.

Vote for Thermalright Ultra-120 here

 

[jackvdbuk]

tuniq tower if i was going to buy a new one, but if ya have TOO much money then have a look at the TEC coolers (Titan Amanda) specifically.

the coolermaster gemin2 (iirc) is pretty godo as it cools the surrounding parts on the mobo aswell

I also vote Thermalright Ultra-120. Also the Ultra-120 Extreme and IFX-14 Fire Extinguisher are almost out (Sidewindercomputers said next two weeks. Heatsinkfactory said early April).

Thanks for all the info guys

had a look at the reviews of the Scythe Infinity and the Tuniq Tower on this and other sites.The Scythe seems to be slightly better at cooling and is just a bit cheaper.

Going to buy the Scythe tomorrow and get it Tuesday
