Hi

Which cooler/heatsink should I go with?

Thermaltake venus 12 - $33
Artic Cooler 64 Pro - $35


Or is there any good one in that price range?

Arctic Cooler 64 Pro

the Thermaltake venus 12 is freakin loud

The arctic Cooler 64 pro is quiet even at 2200 rpm ( full speed )

Well my friend said that keep the venus 12 at 3500 rpm and it won't be that loud because he has two of them and they aren't that loud?

realllllllly confused, I need a good one so i can overclock and keep tempratures down

for opteron 144

well they r loud but the Freezer Pro is quieter IMO

another plus is that the Freezer Pro has copper heatpipes and big thin aluminum fins

oh and a 6 year warranty

and its 35$ not bad


edit

- the Venus Does have a variable speed controller, just turn it up when needed
