Help me out here what one?

p_o_s_pc · Jul 26, 2007

looks like i will be able to fit a 120mm but will be tight

here is a crappy pic to show you what i am talking about

panchoman · Jul 27, 2007

the big thermalright, the fan goes on sideways, not like the way you're holding it, its really the length on the tower thats the problem, it would squeez in vertically between both fans, the width of the sink is only 60mm.. the length is 130, so you have the clearance for 60mm, the height is not a problem if you have a mid tower or better, so with the big thermalright, you're thing is the 130mm vertically from the socket, if you have the clearance, then you can use the best air cooler there is, it works without a fan, but a fan is advised... this is the way the fans are ranked: http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm so grab the 9700 if you cant fit the big thermalright, and if you cant fit the 9700, get the 90m thermalright..

I am still thinking the 9500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118004 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835887002

Scythe Infinity is Better then Zalman 9500/9700 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185027
Noctua NH-U12F is good but expensive.
Old but very good THERMALTAKE CL-P0114 Big Typhoon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106061
One of the best TUniq Tower 120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154001
And finally the best Coolermaster GeminII http://www.coolermaster-europe.com/...H-ANU2-GP&other_title=+RR-CCH-ANU2-GP+GeminII
All these coolers are extremely big. There may be problems with fitting in to motherboard or in the case.

Very good advice. I second this.

The Scythe is better than the Zalman, but the Scythe is a lot heavier, not that it really matters to most people who don't move their computer around constantly.

EDIT: Also the ability to change fans out without modifications is a nice feature that the Zalman heatsinks don't have.

I move my computer alot and i am always doing something to it so i don't want anything that is heavy so my mobo or CPU doesn't get messed up.I am still looking and reading reviews on different HSF before i get one i will tell you guys what it is and tell me if it is good or not or to stay away.
