Hello,
I am looking for a silent air cooler for an intel Q9550. I don't plan to overclock, but I also have a 4850 x2 inside my computer and I do game (Age of Empires III, Civilization IV,...).
So it just should be a good and silent cooler. I was thinking about a Scythe Zipang or Zipang 2. I would prefer the Zipang, cause it's more silent...would it keep my cpu cool enough ? I don't want the Scythe +orochi...it's just too big and heavy. I have an Antec Threehundred case and I do take my computer with me sometimes.
Correct me if I am wrong, but when I check the charts on Frostytech I get the impression the stock cooler would make less noise then the Zipang when using stock fan speeds. That's why I can't decide,
any advise ?
