More Information

I'm looking at three different CPU coolers for my MSI P6N Motherboard (not the platinum one) running a core 2 duo processor. All have good reviews.

Zalman CNPS 9500 AT
Akasa Evo 120
Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7

The freezer pro 7 is cheaper than the others and got excellent reviews cooling C2Ds on overlockers.co.uk, so I will probably settle on this one, but I thought I'd ask here in case anyone answers before I buy later, and also in case there will be an issue with fitting any of these on my board.

Freezer 7 Pro out of those 3, although there are a bunch of better hsf's to choose from. The Tuniq Tower 120, Thermaltake Big Typhoon, Noctua NH-U12F, Scythe Infinity, there all great coolers.

I'm glad you said that,it'sthe one I decided on anyway. I know there are better ones around,but for the very lowpriceand the fact I won't really be doing any overclocking I think it should be fine. I could probably get away with the original Intel one but for some reason Idon't trust them.
