Cooling...

Yop!
soo, im thinking about buying a new CPU Cooler since i bought the Phenom 955, and i would only have stock cooler, and thats not a good one for OC (that i will be doing).. so i've been checking for the right price for me.. here is three:
-Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283 CPU Cooler
-CM HYPER TX3 1156/1155/775/AM3/AM2
-CM HYPER 212+ 1366/1156/1155/775/AM3/2

soo, which one of those would be best? (price/quality)....


now to Computer Cooling, i've been thinking about changing some fans to my Case (HAF 912)... but im just wonder, is [1 x 200mm Fan] better than [2 x 120mm Fans].. or is 2x120 better? or are they both as good?, i've been thinking about modding green (yes i like more nVidia than ATi xD).. if 2x120 is better, ill take 5x(2xFront 2xTop 1xRear) CM Sickleflow Green 120mm Fans (they look Cool)....

aand, then i've though about buying an Fan Controller:
-NZXT Sentry 2 (costs 35e, i think it's worth the price... one of the cheapest F/Controllers i found from MT)

what do you think about these things?

You live in Finland, could you not just open the window?

Seriously though, I have the CM 212 EVO which is quite similar to the 212+ you linked, and it's a very capable cooler for the price, heaps better than the stock one that my Phenom came with (95W TDP). I'm not sure if it's quite cut out for anything but light OCing, Phenoms do tend to get a bit warm, but at that price it's probably the best contender. The TX3 is pretty weak, not worth it IMO - it's a step above the stock cooler but not really cut to handle OCing a Phenom quad.

Can't really help with the rest though, I'm not really into fans.

All 3 of those are pretty similar, Though I've heard good things about the Hyper 212. I would just stick a second fan on it.

well, i its true it's cold up here (on winter), but i don't think it would get cool enough to hold my cpu cool for longer time...
