best heatsinkfan

[aliasaid]

don't tell me to search.


.. lol, anyways..


i was lookin into a new heatsink fan to replace my noisy 3000+ stock fan.


anyways... here are the choices..

1) big typhoon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106061

2) ZALMAN CNPS9500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118223

3)THERMALRIGHT XP-120 (paired with a 120mm fan..) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835109118

ok so here are my questions..
a) whats best at cooling
b) which is the least noisiest
c) which is best overall

if you recommend #3, then plz also recommend a good fan to go along with it...

all are around the same budget where i live.. so price isn't an issue b/w the 3.

well I have the Zalman CNPS9500 LED....and:

-it keeps my processor very cool....
-it looks sexy as ****
-it's very quiet (a bit louder when I am gaming, but nothing like the stock AMD HSF)

 

[aliasaid]

louder when gaming? so the fan speed is adjusted automatically? or you set it higher when you start gaming?

The fanspeed changes according to CPU temp.
