CPU Air Cooling

[_Daut_]

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.

Good air coolers:
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Zalman CNPS9500

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

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

then how do you explain this?

archangel what temps are your cpu getting with that z9500?

for some reason... its alway's 45*C.. 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)

 

[Archangel]

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

 

[sHoW StOpPeR]

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?

 

[Archangel]

well... the value they indicate is only a varying (spelling? ) resistance,.. its in the software what temp the associate with what resistance.. thats why it can vary i gues.


the most acurate value is in the bios.. and i think that one can be trusted

it says 20C in the bios! WoW Im getting 20C

then how do you explain this?

With Zalman CNPS7700alcu during spring:
60C idle
85C load

With Zalman CNPS9500 LED during summer:
45C idle
65C load

And yes, both were seated correctly, and used the correct amount of Arctic Silver 5.

Well I tried.

I have the Zalman also, so far its a champ and quiet.

how much is that Tuniq Tower cuz i might get a new CPU cooler upgrade from stock

The Tuniq Tower is a great cooler, although stocks aren't expected to be generally available for a week or two. Also look into the Thermalright Ultra-120 (with a decent 120mm fan), it's another great cooler.
