Which Cpu cooler is the best ?


Recommended Posts

MCX462+

If you want a silent PC, dont use this. This HS works best with higher CFM fans, not lower CFM fans.

Found out the hard way.

or get the swiftech MCX462-V :shifty:

Several patents pending for concentrically aligned rows of pins, bent at multiple angles. The spacing and angles between the concentric rows has been precisely calculated to optimize cooling and reduce noise at air flow levels as low as 22 CFM and 23 dbA.
:woot:

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

lol youm0nt

too late on that one.. already suggested it ;)

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 ;) )

It's not cheap.

Depending on the pelt you might need an industrial powersupply. My 226watt pelt uses a meanwell 12v 25amp source. Unless you get a decient deal off ebay be prepaired to spend about 100 dollars on it. Not only that... But you can also heat up a room with that pelt :)

In the summer time I Set my radiator boxes on the window and blow all the hot air out.. and in the winter time I have them blow the cold air in.

I have found the Thermalright Slk-900a the best cooler so far for air cooling. I use a coolermaster 80mm adjustable speed fan off a Hac-v81 h/s and its pretty quiet. I use it at the lowest setting and Im at 33c idle...38~39C load running a 2500 barton at 210X11 2310Mhz on a biostar M7ncd Pro board.

Svc has it on sale for 29.98 and if you put the coupon code vf900a its 19.98 plus about 5.00 shipping.

Great buy!

I really like my cooler Master Xdream...

You can pick them up from computer fairs for about ?8

It comes with a bracket to mount it to a spare PCI slot hole, so you can change the fan speed from outside the case if you want. Its very quiet, and i thoroughly recommend it.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
