Gonna be building a new PC ..and i'm trying to cut any little cost I can....was gonna get the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro same price as the scythe but the scythe has free shipping....

so ...is this cpu cooler any good? ..i looked up some reviews and found this http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2126&page=5

any other input?

Better get another CPU cooler, I used the scythe mine cooler Rev B and it is huge, but temperature goes at 62 centigrate which is very closed to the limit of The processor (Athlon 6400 +, 125 W).I even replaced the CPU FAN to 12 cm but to no avail.
When you look closely it has the same base contact with the cpu.

I instead replaced it with the Xigmatec HDT S 1283 .The temperature is now at 56 centigrate ( full CPU load ).

It is just a little expensive but was worth it.

^+1, Xiggy FTW.

It's not that much more, or perhaps you can wait a but until a special promotion comes up and OC then.
