Ok i was certain on the AF7 for ages but now I'm not certain. There seem to be other good ones in my price range to consider.
I CANNOT spend more then £35 and I'd prefer it to be under £30. It's to cool my Q6600, i may OC it to 3ghz but probably no more then that.
Some good looking ones are( and please if you link to others make sure they are on ebuyer):
ASUS Silent Knight II Socket copper Processor cooler, this is at the top of the budget but it is my favourite looks wise, not sure if it's any good..the reviews seem positive though.
Thermaltake big Typhoon, cheaper at only £24, doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing but it's reviews are also good.
then of course the AF7 still at a mere £15
So if anyone has any idea which would the right one for me, Ocing to probably 3ghz on a Q6600, i doubt I'll do more then that.
Now onto power supplies. I was going to get the Corsair 520watt modular power supply but ebuyer is out and it's vanished from the choices so maybe it isn't coming back. So i went on this sites power supply rankings and Antec was on top for gaming rigs containing single powerful GPU's( think you guys classed it is a high/medium rig). So i picked out something which cost roughly the same.
it's the Antec NeoPower 550W Modular PSU With 80mm Low Speed/noise Fan 18db
does anyone have any experience with this power supply?
there's also this.....Coolermaster RealPower 520W Modular PSU - SLI Ready
Anyone know if either is a good choice?
Thanks for any help guys, going to be getting my rig in the next week!
