Which Cpu cooler is the best ?


Recommended Posts

interesting to note that no one uses swiftech. i have an mcx462+. it works so wonderfully... it has a huge copper base, and lots of helicoids (eww, new vocab... it means, high thermal conductivity, specially designed, aluminum rods ;) )

i have a 2500+ (1.83ghz) oc'ed to 2256mhz at 37C... i would go higher, but my multipliers don't work at as they should at 14 and 15x, and my fsb is already high enough, 180 for a 166mhz cpu... the ram is 166mhz (pc2700/333mhz ddr) and i don't wanna destroy that either. plus, the northbridge itself is quite warm :-X

but i will solve the northbridge problems with one of swiftech's chipset coolers ;) it matches my cpu heatsink :-P

Thermalright SLK series

Others are just paper weights :p

The Vantec Aeroflow is much like how the 2500 Barton is, the best one for the money. Both do an outstanding job, where the Vantec can keep your cpu temps under 40C, and the 2500 can easily be the 3200. ;)

The stock Barton HS that comes with the retail package is acceptable...it is very quiet and does a passible job...

However, a $7 speeze is just as quiet, runs about 500RPM slower and cools better...

Shame I didn't realise how bad the stock HS sucked or I would have saved the five bucks and got the OEM model...considering using a non-stock HS voids the manufacturers warranty...

Just what sort of case/processor temps are we talking about with these flashy high-end heatsinks? Considering I think the Speeze is a big step up from my old coolermaster, anything that costs more than $10 is flashy and high-end...

I got 68'F/106.8'F (20'C/42'C) full load right now with the stock heatsink (what a b*tch to get on...). I got about two or three 'F lower with the speeze...and that was before I realized I forgot to change the voltage from 1.75 to 1.65...(palamino to barton). I think I am going speezey again...

I am very interested in what performance real-world people are getting.

I've got the SLK 947U with a sunon 80mm fan and i've only seen my cpu go to about 102F after playing a game.

Only thing that makes it go above that is the inconsistent room temperature (dorm heating).

How are they going to know if you used a non-stock heatsink?

the Swiftech MCX462-V

a mate of mine just brought one a few days ago... looks really good too

and lol twisted.. i run a soon to be dual rad innovatek system.. h20 rox

im using this on old barton system, its much cooler then an slk at least 6c for me using the same fan, panaflo / thermatke 92mm case fan 32db , very quite, get the swifttech , its very easy to put on, also remember to unscrew when you want it tighter :D

to run a 266Watt peltier you would definitely have to run a 2nd power supply. You also have to be able to dissipate 266watts plus the 70 or 80 Watts of CPU heat, so thats like 330Watts or there abouts.

I personally went for water cooling (maze3 waterblock) cos it cheap and very quiet - the noisiest thing in my PC is the HDD !! :p Oh and my CPU temperature is 28 - 33 degrees C.

Al

ahh fellas..... i have and extra suppy all lined up... i know the rules or i wouldnt be trying it

the peltiers are going 16-17 volt

and im alreay lining up some dielectric grease and closed cel neoprene :)

not a new cookie too cooling fellas ;)

    • Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.
    • I think there will be a 27H1 for actual users of 26H1 The 25h2 supports ARM too : Snapdragon X, Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite
    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
