Hi.
Just a quick question : Which CPU cooler should I get for my E8400 if I want to keep it cool when overclocking? I've heard that the arctic cooler pro 7 should be good, but is there anything better for around $40 ?

scythe mugen or infinity (same product, different names). very quiet to.
Tuniq tower is a good one to a bit more expensive though

Thanks. But they are too expensive here in Denmark where I live. Will the arctic cooler pro 7 be fine ?

The Arctic Cooler pro 7 is a great cooler for the money, but it'll be blown away by the Tuniq Tower and the Thermalright ultra 120-extreme. Also see if you can get your hand on the Scythe Ninja.

Hows the price on the Zerotherm Nirvana up in denmark? It performs up there with the tower and zalman 9700 for only 40$ here in the US.

If you have a good chip, and doesn't need a ton of voltage for 4ghz, then you should be able to reach that on a ac7
