ZALMAN are pretty good
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.

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 fine?
Woah, what an unlikely place to sell it!!Quote:

Will all be fine? Checked it myself, but always good for a double check :)
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.
I second OCZ Vendetta II.
I have this
http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalo...h=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.
Bigger isn't necessarily better.
Its served me well so far.
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/105994 - Arctic Cooling CPU Cooler
What do you think of that?
Certainly has good reviews.
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.

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

Down to the final four.
Best? :)
I'd go for the first one, I don't know why though.
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

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