CeBIT 2008: New CPU and Water Coolers from Thermaltake

If you need good cooling performance but one cooler just isn't enough, there is an obvious solution - just take two instead. It seems that is what Thermaltake's engineers must have been thinking when they came up with the DuOrb CL-P0464 cooler. It consists of two coolers stemming from the Orb series that are connected to the CPU cooling block via heatpipes. Read more

I've got a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 Northwood on an ASUS P4T-E. The cooler I have now is LOUD! It's the original Thermaltake Dragon Orb, and it sounds like a damn vacuum cleaner. Even set to the lowest speed it's still loud! I've been looking on FrozenCPU.com but am not sure what to get. I've budgeted $50 for a new cooler. I'm not overclocking, but need to keep this old heatburst cool.

Problem is, I pay tax at Newegg as I live in Memphis, TN.

Looking on FrozenCPU.com I'm thinking of the:

Zalman CNPS 7700-cu

or

Scythe Ninja

Any comments on these? Are they WAY overkill for my proc? I just want something that is going to keep my cpu cool with as little noise as possible.
