ideally one not requiring the removal of the mobo to fit it (takes 3 hours to get cabling that pretty)

go, do it, find out, tell me!

have you tried: http://www.what-do-we-look-like-your-he ... s-etc.com/

Alternatively I'd recommend a Zalman of some sort, they are big but quiet although I've no idea about the removing the motherboard thing

The best S939 cooler is the Zalman CNPS9500 LED.

Unfortunately, it looks worse than you, in drag. :)

i have an akaso evo33. quite loud, but prety cool, my cpu hasnt gone over 50 deg even when at 100% load, and its running at 2.65 ghz. it won a hsf 'megatest' in customPC magazine a few months back, been a better one since then,a zalman iirc.

requires mobo removal tho im afraid.

pah.

for the money i could spend on a nice heatsink, i may as well consider digging my WC rig out.

You have a PC in your toilet?

right now, that's not an unreasonable thought :)

I actually had to rebuild a P.C. here at work, that has no case, and lives inside a toilet at a water treatment works, and the lid is a touchscreen.

Sometimes my job just baffles me :?

What are you supposed to touch the screen with?

yourself.

Funnily enough, the PC in a toilet was designed to entertain little kids, who wanted to learn how water goes out of toilets, and magically appears clean back in the sistern (or something).

I have to admit, it's the strangest PC I've ever had to build, and probably the
shittest too :roll:

I think I have now rebuilt about 400 PC's in the last 3 years all ranging from Win 3.11 to Win XP

I'd tend to agree with the idea of zalman's.. But not the 9500.. The Zalman CNPS7700-CU Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler - Retail (HS-010-ZA) ... on http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/ ... n_121.html looks rather lovely. A friend of mine has it, and got lovely temperatures of like 10-15degrees.. on overclocked beast.. It may involve removing your motherboard, but probably worth it. I do hope you're not doing this just because I asked why you only had a stock cpu fan?

nah, it is a needed upgrade, mainly because i like to do a little overclocking here and there :)
