The hardest thing for me to decide is which type of cooling to get. I was debating water for a while, but it just wasn't practical for my purposes. Hopefully you guys can help me with this matter. Following these needs, which CPU cooler do you recommend?
*Note* This list IS in order of importance to me.
1) Must be LAN-worthy. I will be traveling to lans on a somewhat frequent basis. Couple times a month maybe.
2) Must be relatively light (this kind of fits with #1)
3) If at all possible, a quiet cooler as well (120MM Fan)
4) Price isn't a big deal I guess, I was willing to get the Ultra 120 Extreme w/ fan but it doesn't seem feasible because of the weight. But I would say around 80 bucks at the absolute MAX.
Also, I'm not really an overclocker, but I would like the option available to me in the future. But overclocking isnt really high at all on my priority list.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks again.
My specs:
E6600, ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i (a mistake), Geforce 8800 GTS, 2 GB Corsair XMS, Thermaltake Mozart TX. (the case is subject to change because of my previous statement regarding more frequent lanning).
