i have a 2.8ghz p4 in 775, i was using my rigged SI-120 to cool, everything stayed under 35 until i upgraded my ram to 2gig's pc2-5300. i would like some recommendations on sinks. my budget would like to stay under 60 (not including ship).

my case has 2 120's in it plus a 120 on the si-120. i was looking at this

i have plenty of room and a 120 to mount

anybody know where i can get one of there?

I thought this would be a good read for you.
This is the beginning of the article.
is the comparison between other coolers
According to the tests, the Thermalright Ultra 120 Plus outperforms everything by a fair margin.
Here it i right here.

However it looks a little more complicated to manage weighing in at 745g (thats over a pound).

na, i found it on newegg after you asked. now since my 7100 came in and i have my 2gig ram i can reinstall vista. anyway, whats your best recommendation on a heatsink? also your articles linked to the exact same thing

[james_8970]

Sorry, go to the "cooling at stock speed" page after you click on that link. The one you listed is really good for the price, you could also consider the one I already mentioned, but the only problem with these two are that I find they are quite heavy. I highly recommend anything on that site, that has a temperature of 30oC and below. You really won't get anything better then that.

alright, 1 last thing, i had a webhost recommend me this
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835106080
idk how good it performs but i do know the cisco teacher at rumsey has it on his core 2

[james_8970]

it's an old cooler, can't find any reviews comparing it to anything recent and costs a bit more, not much though.
Here are the best benchmarks that I could find,

I'm not overly impress to say the least. I think you can find better out there.
I think stick with your original decision. It performs better then the typhoon and at a better price, not to mention if you add fans that it'll cool more then just the CPU.

ahh, so confusing you say dont he says do lol

i need some recommendations for a heatsink for 775, i have plenty of room in my case. im still using the ziptied down si-120. money wise id like it to stay under 60 +ship
im looking at these 2 right now

Blah...

Try this http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835106080

or the Scythe towers
http://www.newegg.co...name=Scythe USA

These can handle anything you can throw at them and keep grinning. I have seen the Thermaltake keep up with mid-range watercoolers even.

[james_8970]

lol
The typhoon is 18 month old, I could barly manage to find a review for it. Scyth is a pretty highly regarded CPU cooler.
