CPU Air Cooling

_Daut_ · 10-04-2006, 06:56 PM

I'm about to buy a new computer and I would like to do a nice OC.

Currently I'm looking for a good air coolant and I have my eyes on the Sunbeam Tuniq Tower 120MM.
The problem is, I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have any idea where in the US I can buy it from?
I could get the Ninja Scythe from NewEgg but it's weaker and the Tuniq is supposed to be the best in the world.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

The proccessor will be an X6800 and the Mobo will most likely be an P5W DH DLX WiFi, the case is a Stacker 830.

Thanks for any help.

Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Zalman CNPS9500

I have the Zalman 9500... and im very pleased with it

_Daut_ · 10-04-2006, 09:21 PM

The Ninja is better. It's slightly better then the Zalman and it's considerably better then the BT

I'll try to find some benchmarks for you. ^^

i think the motherboard doesnt work so well with the CPU temp diode .. because it doesnt matter what i do.. its always 45*C
when i have the new motherboard i can tell you i think

Edit: but when i used it on my 3000+ @2.7GHz,.. the temps dropped 12*C under as what i had with the AC freezer 64 (wich is a very capable cooler already)

well.. look at the temp drop with the 3000+..

I dont trust those sensors, on one program it displays my temp at 23C and on the another program it displays my sensor at 32C. Any idea why this could be happening?
