Performance Heatsink+Fan Review

[rainz]

Hi,

I saw couple of months ago .. i dont remember which site .. a huge review of almost all the good heatsink/fan for the OCers. I need a new one and the only thing i remember was something like the SP94 .. ah and btw i need something for the Athlon 64 ! if someone has any advices.

Thx

RainZ

EDIT: Thermalright SP-94 is only for the 478 socket

There was a story on Warp2Search the other day with a SP-94 slugging it out with the most insane Cooler Master Hyper6 which is over at Madshrimp's who has a ton of cooler reviews.

(I saw the story yesterday on W2S and decided that now that I got a decent mobo it's just ridiculous to keep running with a stock cooler, but I was a bit overwhelmed at all the bloody developments in air cooling...I just wanted a $20 copper cooler!)

I recommend you take a look at this:

http://www.zalman.co.kr/usa/product/view.asp?idx=54&code=005009

With the fan at full speed (12 V), one of the better air-coolers you'll find, with a "decent" noise level. At low speed (5V), one of the quietest for the amount of cooling you get.

Heh...I would've actually recommended that AlCu (aluminum / copper hybrid.) Most tests show it cools almost exactly the same....it's much lighter (less to worry about when moving your system), and it's cheaper.

But hey, it's a great cooler nonetheless.

Hey Joe, what do you recomend I get for a 2500+ on an Abit NF7-s rev2? I gotta get me better than this stock cooler!

Finally Joe they received the Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu ( Full Copper ) even if i canceled the order and i decided to bought this one too ! So i decided to install the new one ( Copper ) on my 64 3200+ and install the hybrid on my XP 2600+

But.... my motherboard on the XP 2600+ didnt have the 4 holes to install the 2 supports .. damn Gigabytes .. No idea why ... Well i'll return the Hybrid .. bah !
