New Heatsink + Fan

[fury36]

Im looking for a new heatsink and fan, and i was wondering which is the best one out there. I have no idea how to figure out which is compatible with my system... so thats why ive posted here. (My Specs are in my Signature).

if you want the best the Scythe Ninja with 120mm fan is awesome. Keep in mind that its a huge cooler though. Are you going to oveclock or do you just want something thats better than stock and quiet?

Well, i wanted something better then stock, but i dont want something completely amazing, i just want something good that would allow me to overclock just a bit.

try the zalman7700 120mm fan with pure copper heat sink...not sure if it's compatible with ur socket type though, you'll have to check

CNPS9500
TT Big typhoon

7700 if you just want something quiet nothing to extreme

AS5 make sure you buy some

Ive chosen to get the TT Big Typhoon, it says it is compatible with Socket 939, and the following processors are compatible with it :

Intel P4 LGA775
Intel P4 478 Prescott FMB1.5
AMD Athlon 64 / Athlon 64 FX
AMD Athlon XP up to 3400+
AMD Sempron up to 3400+

The AMD Athlon x64 3700+ is included in there isnt it? Im just a bit confused because it says "up to 3400+"

 

[Kitire]

If it sais up to 3400, it means....


Up to 3400 O_O.

And it doesnt.

It sais athlon xp.


Not athlon 64 .

Also does anyone have a good one for 25$ or below?

But this is what it says:

Intel P4 LGA775
Intel P4 478 Prescott FMB1.5
AMD Athlon 64 / Athlon 64 FX (this is in a seperate line)
AMD Athlon XP up to 3400+
AMD Sempron up to 3400+

Im thinking it means that it supports all AMD Athlon 64 processors.

Yes....
