@fade2green514: nice, but like big suacy said, you could tidy up the cables to make it look better and you'd get better temps.
btw i got the same speakers and same type of mouse but i got the G7 and what is that container looky thing that has the big G5 on it? is it to store the unused weights?

firstly:
I guess the thermaltake Big typhoon is a bit like liquid cooling...some people love it, some people don't.
I heard zalman was much better, but then again...i heard thermal take big typhoon is better.
The size seems to make me think that it's better, but that would be really stupid.
It seems so big that once i'll put it on the CPU, it'll either fall off, or rip the motherboard off it's screws.
Secondly:
It's been said enough, but fade2green514, your case definetely needs cleaning up...for optimal cooling and esthetics.

Yep, Id say the Typhoon is better than the Zalman. Its quiter, and it does get better temps. I rekon it can get you some of the best temps without watercooling.

Really? Is it because in water cooling, its physically impossible to get the water under the room temperature?
Is the Big typhoon less noisy cuz the heat sink is huge and therefore requieres less fan speed?
BTW, it definetley looks better than one of those zalman cpu coolers.
Last n00b question: how can i know if a cpu cooler is better than an other?

Yep, its the same with air cooling, you cant go cooler than the air itself.

Also, your right about the Typhoon, the fan doesnt have to shift much air because the heatsink is amazing......

Yeah, it does look better than the Zalman, and providing you have a wide case, then its more likely to fit than the zalman.

And to know if a CPU cooler is better than the other, then you have to look for what its made of, who its made by, what fan is attached etc.
Read the reviews about the Typhoon, they are all saying its A+++

After a bit of cable management I think it looks a bit better...

I do like how clean your case is. What is that fan grill on the HSF? Anyway, I give you 10/10
