My lga775 motherboard serves as background computer doing various tasks. Current cooler is approaching 10 years and i need expertise whether i should stick with my corrent one or upgrade.

Current cooler Taisol from 2008-2009 and may not be good enough for mild overclocking.

Considering the relative age of 775 socket, i don't want to spend more money on dead architecture apart from CPU and Cooler upgrade. E5200 -> Q9650.

I'm slightly worried that Taisol is not good enough for Core 2 Duo Quad, more cores add more heat.

Candidates:

PcCOOLER Freeze 120 CPU Liquid Cooler

Silverstone Tek Durable

SoPlay SP-C1207B

Any opinions please :)

Then just get the cheapest one that meets your desired aesthetics. All 3 are more that the system will require. Of the 3, I would lean toward the Silverstone.
