For example, you can use a nuclear warhead to get rid of the rabbits in your garden, but that's overkill. you see, you still kill the rabbits (just as your "overkill" cooler will still cool your CPU) but you paid more for the nuclear warhead then you would have paid for more conventional ways of getting rid of the rabbits, not to mention all the media attention that you were a crazed madman. Basically, there is no reason whatsoever to get something more then you need. It's not going to cool it down more effectively, the only thing it will be effective at is making your wallet lighter. I know what you guy's mean. I need my computer to "Shut Up" it's to loud and its mostly the CPU fanThe 212 Plus will cool your CPU perfectly fine without getting OBNOXIOUSLY loud - the Fenrir will also cool it perfectly fine, but it will cost more. If you absolutely must have a few C lower temperatures than you will achieve with the 212, get the Fenrir - but with that argument, get a Megahalems, or liquid cooling, or dry ice, or phase change - see where I'm going? They're all overkill, you do not need a more expensive cooler than the 212 because it will not benefit you.Anything ZALMAN. Quiet pc, but bit higher temps. That's what I use on one of my builds, and it is quiet to the point of a whisper, but temps hang at around 65C in requiring games.I'm just going for Overkill because I'm not just trying to stick with what i got in the FUTURE i will upgrade my mobo CPU and so on.... you get the picture.

No you won't.... CPU's come with heatsink/fan combos. Which work perfect at the stock speeds, and usually with a small overclock, if done right. Again, I can't recommend the 212 Plus enough. It will cool any Core 2 system barring very high voltages, and will cool even an i7 with a moderate overclock - it's hands down the best value for money cooler. If you want to step up from that, the Prolimatech Megahalems is the best air cooler that isn't obscenely large (like the Noctua NH-D14, Cogage Arrow, or Thermalright IFX014). The Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 is on par with the Megehalams but can be hard to find. These coolers will cool an average i7 clocked at 4GHz with headroom to spare - they're very good. As far as liquid cooling goes, I'm no EXPERT on that, but it's not something to step into lightly. Quote from: Calum on July 17, 2010, 11:38:05 AM Again, I can't recommend the 212 Plus enough.

I've no personal experience with the Tuniq cooler but from what I've read, it's not bad.If you have room for it, the ASUS Silent Square series is quite good. I've got a Silent Square Pro. They're hard to find since they've stopped making them recently, but Amazon has the Silent Square EVO model for less than $30, similiar to the Pro model with only slightly less airflow. Just make sure your case is wide enough, as the Silent Square coolers are quite large, but very effective.Thanks everyone I'm going to order the Tuniq tower 120 extreem. Reasons, for a more quiet computer and mostly because of eyecandy.
