Hi

I can't decide which of the following heat sink to get, they both seem pretty good..and alot of reviews said that they were quiet..

the zalman uses a ball bearing type fan..and the cooler master uses a rifle bearing type fan
which one is better..i read that rifle bearing is suppose to be more quiet..

Which one would you prefer

ZALMAN CNPS9500

Or

COOLER MASTER Hyper 6+

which one do you guys recommend
thanks :D

I own and would recommend the Zalman. Better reviews at the site you have linked. It's very efficient and quiet. Plus it'll look awesome if you have a side window.

Zalman is the new badass HSF as it has been reviewed by THG. Go for it.

Thanks..

I REALLY like how the 9500 can be pointed towards the exhaust fan. If i'm doing hard core gamming (fear, ect) for awhile, the air comming out of the lower fan is warmer than the upper fan. To me, that is much better than just kicking the air up into the case, like most heatsinks do.

ZALMAN is the way to go for extreme gamers, but if its just for consumer usage and you want your cpu chilled, the cooler master is the way to go, plus its a bit cheaper :twisted:
