Which Would You Buy?

[westihockey09]

I'm debating between 2 heatsinks. The first is a Zalman 120 mm 2 ball shown here or this 92mm 2 ball shown here or the other is an Arctic Cooler 64 Freezer Pro shown here. Most likely I will not be overclocking.
Which would you buy and it would help if you told me why?

Thanks,

I would go with the Zalman only cause you said this...."Most likely".....doesn't sound certain and might as well be as prepared as possible...

PLus I guess the 120mm zalman is quiter and wil help overall cooling since it overlaps things like ram slots and NB chipsets....may help keep overall system quiet...Couple that with a good Antec Sonata case with 120mm fans and the system could be damn near silent...

The freezer 64 pro is a good choice, can't really beat that price. However the zalmans do cool mobo components, but if you went with the 120mm zalman I'd get the all-copper edition of the zalman you listed

Well the Arctic Cooler is not in the same league as the other 2, it's half the price, and it looks like the 120 Zalman is cheaper than the 92 for some reason. Get the 120 Zalman if you want to spend $30, it's quiet and a good performer, or get the Arctic Cooler if you want to spend $15.

I had a Arctic Cooler 64 Freezer Pro on my AMD CPU for a moment.
Didn't need it and put back the generic HSF that came with it.
My case temps were low to begin with.
Seems the LLs airflow made it unnecessary to use add-on HSFs anymore.
But that's why I use AMDs, lower operating temp levels.
Sold my AC64F Pro to another client.
