Hi all,

i am planning to replace my CPU stock cooler with the new one, so in this regards i need suggestions. i am not planing to OC'ing, just to minimize the idle and on load Temps of my CPU.


Thanks

I have an E6750 and I am using an Atric Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, Works beautifully my temperatures are about 30 C idle and 45 C load which is great compared to the stock Intel cooler. This fan has been chugging along for about 3+ years surviving two different CPU's and 3 motherboards and still spins like the day I got it. Is you are sensitive about noise the fan is also absolutely silent.

Here is the link. I have revision 1 which is older and only supports LGA 775, otherwise its the same design.

I highly recommend this cooler.
Note: after market coolers tend to be larger then stock coolers make sure you have the space needed to install them.

Does anyone use COOLER MASTER HYPER N520? the main plus point of this product is its support for both LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets, which is really good for future cpu upgrade

I am unfamiliar with that product.

The product I linked you to supports 1366, 1156, 775 and AM3, AM2+ and, AM2. I forgot to mention the overclock speed for the temps listed, 1.392v 2.66Ghz idle (30 C) and 3.56Ghz load (45 C) stock speed is 2.0Ghz idle and 2.66 load.

Here is a review for the N520
