CPU Cooling Fan

[AgnesIO]

I am looking to buy a new CPU Cooling Fan, as the stock one that came with my quad core processor is crap.

What are the best makes for CPU Coolers?


Cheers
+Rep to useful replies.

ZALMAN are pretty good

[AgnesIO]

Might buy this then:

Reckon it will do the job of keeping my system at a decent temperature.

My current CPU fan is keeping my system at 50-60 WHILE BROWSING

What a crap fa by intel aye? :P

EDIT: Then I see its not compatible lool

Zalman aren't that great, get an OCZ Vendetta 2, I got it because it stays within Intel's weight limitations, is silent and keeps my CPU around 28c idle.

Very cheap :O

Reccomend any buyers?

Well I bought mine from Aria.co.uk but apparently they don't sell it anymore, it's quite hard to find in the UK.

I might get this actually - will it fit in this (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/108280) fine?

Woah, what an unlikely place to sell it!!

It should just about fit it.

[AgnesIO]

I assume it will fit in this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/165238

:)

Will probably buy two more fans for the side of my case too. Any idea on makes for those types of fasn? :) Cheers

Where are the pins on that cooler btw?

EDIT

This = http://www.ebuyer.com/product/165238 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/165238)
This = http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145751

Will all be fine? Checked it myself, but always good for a double check :)

[Recursion]

They are pushpins like on your Intel cooler, it comes with two brackets, one for AMD, one for Intel, that's why it doesn't show it in the picture :) and yeah, it should easily fit in that case, mine is inside my CM-690.

As for case fans, get some Yate Loons or Nexus Silent ones.

[Jahova]

I second OCZ Vendetta II.

[Pyroka]

I have this

http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_42&mID=245

it is by far the most badass fan I've seen, ***** to get into your computer case if its pretty small, mines smallis and I had issues but it went in with a bit of fiddling. Once its in, I couldnt fault it.

[Stephen!]

Bigger isn't necessarily better.

[Pyroka]

Its served me well so far.

[AgnesIO]

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/105994 - Arctic Cooling CPU Cooler

What do you think of that?

Certainly has good reviews.

[Recursion]

It certainly is a praised CPU cooler in the computer market, I would go for it, although it won't lower your temps as well as the others.

Ah I won't get it then :)

Lowering temperatures is key, as my pc keeps crashing over having too high temps!

Down to the final four.

Best? :)

[Markeh]

I'd go for the first one, I don't know why though.

[Recursion]

The first one, the others are stupid money for something you probably wont see enough of a difference from, I still say go for the Arctic Cooler Pro 7 or Vendetta II :P

If my computer does not crash everytime I load a game, believe me I will haha

Hmm Vendetta II or Arctic Cooler :D

Yeh the problem is atm the computer crashes to protect the CPU - so imo that is a problem haha
