Can u guys reccomend a good HSF for my P4?

[civicmisfit]

Guys im lost. There are too many attractive HSF to choose from. I play FEAR and BF2 sometimes and my CPU reaches 70C with stock cooling. I decided i have to change my HSF. What would u guys reccomend for a decently priced and effective HSF? Thanks.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro or Zalman CNPS9500

I checked out both of these HSF and i like the Arctic cooling becasue its much cheaper. The Zalman one is very expensive so i don't think i will go for it. I read a review for the arctic cooling freezer 7 and they say its a bit loud. Is there another HSF that u can think of that is a bit quiter and at the same price point and equal or better performance? Thanks.

Thermal right XP-90 or SI-120 with a panaflo fan for performance, nexus fan for silent operation.

you can fit both with whichever fan you want so if one isnt quiet enough, just get another.

It's hard to match the price point of the AC7Pro. Other than the Sycthe Katana 1000, I haven't seen any product combined with a fan for the same similar price.

I think the opinion of the noise factor that you read is just that, an Opinion. Try it for yourself.
