[Pelu]

this one http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Pro...ec.aspx?ProductID=2129

or the standard that a PHII have from factory... the one in factory have some copper pipes and such but the fan is a bit small.... was wondering if by having copper is better than the first one.

id just stick with the stock AMD cooler, they're much better than what people think. They'd def lay the smack down on the intel stock coolers

what does the bold means to mean?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

that the AMD coolers are better than what people think, because the intel stock coolers suck

Wondering when Gigabyte became a company an ATer would look to for CPU coolers? Mobos, yes; cases, maybe; CPU HSFs??? Xigmatek or clones like the OCZ Vendettas, etc. or the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pros, etc. There are some cases where downflow HSFs are perhaps preferable to one of those others, but they aren't very common.

But I'd give the stock unit a try anyway as you'll have already paid for it. If it's too noisy or doesn't cool adequately, then it won't be too big a deal to upgrade later.
