Which Cpu cooler is the best ?

[requiem]

Hi there,

i have an Amd 2500+ with stock fan.I want to o/c it to 3200+,

which fan you guys recommend to use ??

i prefer silent ones.

Why go silent when you can make the whole neighborhood wake up when you power on the computer? Buy 5 or some odd tornados and throw them in there. Not only will you have your own personalized hovercraft for a computer, you'll keep the cops busy with all of the noise complaints.

req: i assume you mean, what heatsink AND fan combos... because i've never herd of someone just changing the fan on the retail heatsink.

get a thermaltake silentboost, or an slk-800/900 with a panaflo L1A silent fan.

haha that idea really made my evening complete.... the image formed in my mind....

With all the fans, just put the computer on the side, and the computer will float in mid-air because of the air pressure out of the box...... hahahahahahaha!!!!! :laugh:

sure i'm not gonna change fan on my stock heatsink, doesn't make sense right :)

i could buy separately or combo (like thermaltake volcano 9)

Yeah that's funny :huh:

what about that , tell me to your addr. and i'll move to your next door?? :rofl:

Well.. i've been reading reviews here and there online and the best combo i found (and using it myself =P) is the Thermalright SLK900U with Enermax UC-9FAB. This fan boasts 60+ CFM's at only around 40 dB's? correct me if im wrong. But it's a Lot quieter than the stock one that i had and it's a lot cooler too!

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

yeah the 900u will do you fine.. or you could wait for the new heatpipe coooler from thermalright.. but they are taking their sweet time about it

I have 2 tornados in my computer, soon to be 3 (the third one has been sitting outside wanting to wake the neighborhood for so long). No, really though, I have 2 tornados connected to a fan controller. Right now the 92mm is unplugged because I can't deal with the vibrations from it against the steel of my case. I do plan on buying another 92mm though, as soon as I get my DFI LanParty so that it'll sit on top of my SLK-900A like it's supposed to.

you poor bugger......... i used to run 2 vantec tornados as case fans.. one on a blow hole, and one on my thermalright sk7 voltage was at 17-24, hit 7000 rpm+

wass cool... but drove me to h20 after a few months

Vantec Aeroflow

I'm behind that.

I got a few people to switch to Vantec Aeroflow, cause it is the best quietest one for the money. Outstanding...IMO. (Y)

:D noisy as hairdryer.

[Offspring]

Eh, right now I can't hear the tornado at all. I have it turned all the way down to minimal voltage, and have music running. If I was really into extreme quiet, then I'm sure I'd go watercooling, but as it is, the hum isn't that bad when it's all the way down. It's when you turn the damn thing all the way up that it makes it sound like a helicopter is taking off in your computer.

Vantec Aeroflow

[requiem]

I think im gonna buy vantec aeroflow.everyone is saying "cooling excellently and quietly".

And you will need to supliment these with at least 12 delta fans for that added harley davidson sound :D

Excellent choice! (Y) You will be blown away just taking it out of the package, I was, and so were others, it really is awesome! With my quiet HD, the only thing I currently hear is my case fan, which I am going to replace with a Vantec Steath fan. :D

[requiem]

My psu is little bit noisy.I'm gonna replace it too later.first goal is o/c the cpu :)

the vantec areoflow runs well. cheap too

[pmh]

I bought a volcano 11 and after 8+ hours of consecutive gaming (lan party) My 2.5+ barton that was overclocked to 3.2+ was only 42c! That was when it was overclocked too!
