Disputing between two heatsinks

[Intile]

I am considering buying a heatsink for my AM3 Athlon II X3 440 and i dont know which one to choose, been reviewing both and they seem to have great results overall. I would like to know what you guys think and if not what other options you recommend. Thank you.

Will do, within these options, which one seems the most effective one? I Have a full tower case and this motherboard:

At a glance, the Zalman looks like it would be more effective.

My personal favorite is the Arctic cooling Freezer 64 pro.

It a fine cooler with a quiet fan, and it uses the stock bracket. A big deal if your motherboard/cpu is already installed. And one less step if it is a new build.

But I think you would be happy with any of those guys. They are all very good.

Thank you for the replies. However, between those 3, which one would you go for? The availability of coolers in my area is very limited, however, i could buy them from newegg and then bring them in here. So im just trying to get the best bang for the buck i can, looking for a really nice performance cooler

Looking at frostytech, they are both very good, it has them performing very close with the Frio being slightly better but also slightly louder too so its a pretty even tie. If there is any significant price difference between them i would go for the cheaper of the two as there isnt enough performance difference to justify a significant pricing difference.

I just want to get a really good cooler, according to frostytech the zalman that i posted back there isnt that good. :S
According to them the Thermax Eclipse II is incredible, but i dont find it anywhere.

After going to a local store, they had these in stock. Unfortunately they are not the most updated heatsinks around, but those i can get locally instead of getting them sent internationally
TT ISGC-400 UNIVERSAL COOLER
TT SPIN Q CL-P0466
TT SPIN Q VT CPU COOLER CLP0554
TT BLUE ORB II COOLER
TT FRIO UNIVERSAL CPU COOLER
TT V1 CPU COOLER
TT ISGC-400 UNIVERSAL COOLER

I could always order them online and pay the international shipping, but what do you guys think?


PD: TT stands for thermaltake.
