Hello All,
I want to buy a new cooler, but I need one of those 'cheap-and-good' stuff.
Good because my Pentium D (socket LGA775) is already too hot without o/c.
Cheap because... well... I'm Brazilian, and those things are usually too expensive here. Sometimes something costs X dollars and here the price is four times higher. Damn taxes.
The other problem is: not every brand is easy to come. Most are quite difficult, indeed.
So, with all those problems, I'd like to which cooler should I buy.
I've some ideas... mostly zalman coolers: CNPS 7000-CU or CNPS 7700-CU are good possibilities, I just don't know if they:
a) Are a good option;
b) Would fit my motherboard (ASUS P5LD2 SE);
They'd probably fit my case (around 40 cm high, 20 cm large at front).
Other option would be the 9500 led.
Well... I'd like to hear (read?) some opinions on those products (they're a bit old, right, but they're still good?).. and maybe some other option.
Thanks!
