s939 HSF

[flict0nic]

What is the best Heatsink for overclocking a 939 3500+? Right now I'm leaning towards going with a TT Venus 12 ($30), does anyone else have this or any other s939 that they would recomend?

[The Dark Hacker]

i would say either the zalman CNPS7700-Cu or the thermalright xp 120 if it fits on 39. i dont know there site is down right now

Planning on overclocking any ;)

I have a Zalman 7xxx series HSF, and it does a great job. My HD is louder than my HSF :rolleyes:

I'd recommend anything Zalman, Thermalright or Swiftech.

i agree with drake. definatly dont go with any thermaltake products. almost all of the products are form over function, they are poorly made, and there customer support sucks.

Go for an xp-90 if you can

:wtf:

The the Thermaltake Jungle 512 is the Maximum PC's Dream machine 2004 CPU cooler. Maximum PC regularly reviews Thermaltake products. To spite a complete lack of advertising in their magazine from Thermaltake(since I know so many of you will think that kind of thing should have some kind of effect). They are nearly always reviewed in a favorable light.

Nearly their entire new line of heat pipe CPU coolers is really quick kick :mad2::mad2::mad2: and not at all form over function.

tell me this. have you ever owned a thermaltake product or had to deal with there custmer service. i am guessing no. thermaltake products suck. plain and simple. they are poorly made and look like shit

First, I don't like your tone. Secondly, you are guessing wrong. I had a Thermaltake Dragon orb 3, back before I upgraded to a the Hedgehog W (http://www.kanie.jp/Hedgehog-typeW.pdf). It served my stock cooling needs perfectly. It was made of quality parts and looked great.

You are entitled to your opinions. Even if they seem to have little backing other than “they suck”. But I think the majority of the users of this forum would prefer well informed, well thought out responses to questions, not baseless hate mongering. :newbie:

i didnt mean to put out a bad tone. i know many people that have thermaltake products, me being one of them, and they all have had problems with them. for me, i had a thermaltake xaser III that i got as a gift. When i was in the process of putting the system together, the little plastic rails that you must use to munt andthing broke off and almost killed my hard drive. Secondly, my friend Alex recently bought a thermaltake fanless 103 cooler. in the middle of mounting it the retention mechanism that comes with it broke. on both accounts i tryed to contact thermaltake about these problems and both times i never received a email response.

Lets settle down guys :)

I'd go with a thermalright HSF, XP-90 as the XP-120's have problems fitting on some boards due to clearance issues.

I've heard good things about the new TT stuff, but havn't used one myself.

[Player0]

Everyone is welcome to their opinions, but if we can avoid the rants I'd be happy :)

Ive used lots of TT stuff without problem, although I like other products better. TT stuff is a bit noisier, although they have less loud things now too. They make good 1U coolers and the like.

get a hyper6 i had the big tt sink thats almost the same thing and i thought it was fine but spending 50 bucks for a heat sink can buy you a dd tdx waterblock that you will get alot more out of i used the hyper6 and the tt with my 3500+ and it gave me 32-40c (not overclocked) this is complete crap i had 2 92mm tornadoes going at 120cfm now thing about it that dinky little hsf that comes with it is fine just save your money you wont get anything out of any of the heatsinks unless you have really cold air coming in i was using my computer in the basment i live in seattle washington its 32f out side and its like 40 inside so with those fans being the fastest ive ever seen hand heard. go water

Yeah if you buy JUST the waterblock (remember you need a pump, radiator, tubing, reservoir etc........)

And i would also reccommend anythin by Swiftech. My previous experience with their customer service was very good.

XP-90 with a good 80mm or 90mm fan wins in almost every instance. For MOST setups the XP-120 is just to big.

Currently I have the Arcitic-Cooling Freezer 64 on my new rig and it's working well for now anyway.

As for TT? They make a decent product but they are by far NOT the best.
