I have that very chip/board combo.

The Zalman is an excellent choice.

Thanks. So i'm gonna return the coolermaster jet 7 that i just got. You would recommand Zalman over Coolermaster, rite?

 

[clocker2]

I have no personal experience with the CoolerMaster, so any opinion I might have would be hearsay.
I've run with the Zalman and can recommend it.
I have also tried a Thermaltake SilentTower and it was a disaster ( but a friend of mine is reevaluating it to confirm my results).
Right now I would avoid the SilentTower.

Now I've moved back to watercooling, but that's irrelevant to your question.

Coolermaster heatsinks almost always need to be lapped when they are received, coolermaster just does a very lousy job on the finish.

zalman or thermalright will do.

Thanks yall for the help . One more question here: All Copper or ALCU thing for ZALman. The one with all Copper is hella heavy. Please advice.

 

[clocker2]

Mine is the all copper version.
The weight is not a problem.

From what I hear the zalman is a great choice for a low noise cooler. The Slk-947/948 for $20ish would be a bit better I think, and you can put any fan on it you want. You will be happy with the zalman though.

I got a zalman and once lapped and AS5 in place I have no complaints aside when the weather gets really hot other wise it's so quiet I can heat my panaflo over the zalman fan

Thermalright Sp 97 with a Panaflo 92mm fan.

I read a review on the Zalman cooler and the guy actually got 3°C lower load temps with the ALCu... although that might be due to mounting differences. I'm a fan of the Thermalright HS's... the Zalman's are nice but they don't have the C/W rating of the Thermalright HS's. Look at this link and where the Zalman is on it LINK. With a good fan and airflow, you can lower the C/W rating though. My slk-948 has a C/W of .15 and arch's SP-94 has a C/W of .10
