LiquidSage Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 after trying a few newer ones, i like the ThermalTake SilentTower 112. It is big and a pain in the a%$ to install properly, but even after a little overclocking and at full load, my temps have not been over 49c without a fan! (though you can actually install 2 on it) Pure silence! All the P4 coolers are big it seems. The Zalman CNPS7700-Cu seemed promising, but i was not impressed with it after using it for a month.Just my 2c worth. Hope it helps

Hope it helps<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Unfortunatly , I dont have the Clearance required for the Zalman , with the case i have i need more room between the Heatsink and Powersupply Also the Spire one looks ugly as heck , and i dont wanna deal with those twisty tabs like the Stock Cooler had , would rather screw it on , rather then screw it upRob
rendrag Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I have something really similar to the typhoon (I have a athlon 64, so slightly different), but I'm happy with it. It is quiet, and does the job really well
