CPU fan and PSU question

Bow · Jan 2, 2009

1. I want to get a cpu fan and drop the water cooling, its just to much a pain in the ass.
What is the best 775 cpu fan I can get?

2. I also need a new psu, it needs to be sli ready and maybe 3x sli, what do you recomend?

Any Xigmatech= Fail. A Xigmatek HDT-S1283 / or Red Scorpion S1283 should be fine.

And more expensive too!

My vote goes to Zalman 9700.

The Zalman 9700 is a bit old and expensive, there are far better coolers out there with a better price.
Xigmatek HDT-S1283, Cooler Master V8(expensive), Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme.

PSU:

+1 the HDT-S1283 offers the best price/performance ratio. Otherwise get a TRUE and lap it.

Definitely get the corsair 1000w... it will treat you nicely

And +1 for the S1283
