In need of the ultimate :-)

Baphomet · Dec 22, 2003

hi peeps,

ok heres the score, i recently bought the coolermaster Jet7+ radial fan. Looks nice, sounds quite bareable and not too bad cooling (AMD Barton 3000, 45c@load)

What i need from you guys please

is some recommendations on a really Frikkin good HSF,

While Price is not a problem, im happy to pay big bucks for the best one i can, but i want to stick to air cooling for now, not gonna go to water just yet

Sooooo. Any Ideas? im after the best, most impressive, best cooling HSF on the market, noise is not an issue i can live with it!

Thanx peeps

Baph

How about this one ?

Just kidding...
Anyway I think the Thermalright SP97 is pretty much the best heatsink for amd cpus.

it dosen't look like you board has the holes around the cpu to be able to bolt down the SP97, so the next best would be the SLK-900A

Sorry, you're right. I forgot about the mounting holes... The SLK900A would be the second best choice

if it will fit on your board get the 900A else the 800A both are about the best you will find... u have to think though... a decent waterblock such as a maze 4 will be like $32, a cheap pump for $30 and a heater core for $20. for under $100 you could have a decent water cool setup with next to no noise.

thanx for the replys peeps

i've heard some good stuff about the SLK-900A, might be a good one to look into... whatcha think of this one?

looks OTT but thats cool, i have plenty of space in my case to house it

again thanx for the ideas on what to buy

I think you would be better off staying with the Thermalright HS,product line.That HS you linked to above is not a very good cooling solution.It sticks out twice as far as the Thermalrights.
One guy said a friend has one that broke off of his mobo.

(offcourse he was told by his own mothers daughter...)

id stick with the TR SLK's if i were you...

thats crazy, that it would rip off the mobo. i wonder if her can get any compensation from TK for the damages to his computer due to their shoddy product?

Now it might be bad hs, but in a display case it would look cool, sat near the window

Looks can be decieving.They count on the cool look.But we count on the cooling. THE FANMAN
