Choice of LGA775 HSF

[Ino]

HELP!!!!

Im running a P4 3.0Gz (no overclock) on a ASUS P5AD-2 mobo
I would like to change the HSF but kind of confuse which one I should choose.
I have several one in mind
1. Thermaltake Silent 775
2. Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu
3. Zalman CNPS7700-Cu
4. CoolerMaster Hyper 48
5. Gigabyte 3D Rocket Cooler Pro

Which one do I should choose for my CPU?
And for number 3 and 4, they weight more than 600gr, will it be alright for my mobo?

Thanks for the help everyone ^^

#2 out of that list

XP-120 w/ s775 adapter out of all air cooled HSs.

Thx for the reply.

Isn't the XP120 made out of alumunium, i thought HSF from copper is much better than the one made out of alum?

If you have seen reviews and\or the sheer size of the XP-120 you'd realize why it's so good.

1. No?.
2. Good choice.
3. Too heavy.
4. Also a good choice.
5. Loud.

Zalman 7000/7700 AlCu would be good choices; don't bother with the Cu, it's added weight doesn?t justify it's almost non-existent performance advantage. The 7000 AlCu can be had for $30 which is a great deal btw.

Algere is right, the Thermalright XP-90/120 is the best performance heatsink out there, but you need to add you own fan.

Whatever you decide, don't get #1.
