bump..

I want a good <$50 cooler for the 955 too.. The stock cooler is too loud, imo. It seems that every time I pick a cooler just be reading Newegg reviews, it's always louder or clunkier than the reviewers say..

When you add it to cart, it's $17 with free shipping.

Cheap, dead silent, and good performance. I have it on my Q9550(the LGA 775 version) and I'm not pushing it very hard at 3.4Ghz. I could take it much higher if I wanted to.

Freezer 64 seems to be the good alternative many people use around here go for it.

It's showing up as $27 shipped. Where do you see it for $17?

I was actually going to recommend the Xigmatek ones, but then I realized you don't want a big cooler.

That's odd. If you use Google's shopping search to get to the link, then add to cart, it still says about $17 shipped. Click the top link when sorted by price and add to cart.

Oh I see. They're gaming froogle. The reference from froogle nets you the $10 discount.

Also, it's now $16 + shipping = $25.

Not to derail, but how do one of these compare to a Xigmatek 92mm?

well finished up going with the Scythe Mugen 2

thanks for inputs

I couldn't find a review that had both the Freezer Pro and the Xigmatek 92mm in it, but looking at some reviews and using the stock intel cooler as a reference, they both seemed to cool around 10C cooler than the stock cooler at full load in some of the reviews I looked at.
