which heatsink?

[Trifid]

I am looking at some heatsinks, that are not overly expensive (themaltake xp-120)

and was looking at these:
rctic Cooling Freezer 64 CPU Cooler

Gigabyte 3D Rocket

Zalman CNPS7700-ALCU Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler

Coolermaster Hyper48 Cooler

The zalman and coolermaster is pushing my budget though.


which one out of them would give the best performance?

thanks.

agreed about the zalman, the xp120 is abit better than the zalman but it is a close second and alot cheaper, try and get the all copper version if u can, its well worth the expta money from what ive read.

@codeine im concidering getting that vga cooler, well either that or teh NV silencer 6, but it really depends how good teh NV turns out to be cos ive been hearing good things about that zalman

Either one is great, im just not sure if that zalman supports X800 XT agp. Thats what it supports on the bottom, does that mean only PCI Express?


Radeon X800 SE, PRO, XT(PCIe), XT PE
