Ok, here's one for all you budding system builders out there...
I'm currently running the Zalman CNPS8700 LED heatsink on my rig (see specs) and I want to upgrade it to a better cooler. Can you recommend something for me?
Here are some parameters to help you help me:
- This fan is analog and my mobo has PWM control. It's currently running in quiet mode with a resistor, so there's no auto speed control. I want a PWM fan, so I don't have to worry about my PC overheating when I ramp up the load on it, as it will speed up. It's a bit iffy at the moment, especially with dust build up, when the overtemp alarm starts to go off
- It must be really quiet when the PC isn't working hard. My Zalman is like this and this parameter is really important
- I want air cooled only, heatpipes ok
- I'll consider any quality brand
- Any size is fine
- It must fit socket 775 (my current one)
- Cost isn't a limiting factor. If it's good quality, I'll spend it
