Re: CPU cooler,

XP 90C with a fan is good.

XP 120C is also good. Its basically a huge heatsink, put a fan on top and its great!

Or the zalmans vf7700 (i think) they are GREAT! But very big, check on the offical website if your motherboard is supported.

Good luck!

Re: CPU cooler,

all the zalman processor fans are goign to work on the A8N SLI Pre. i suggest the 7700 zalman, quiet and it cools like no other, or you can wait for thei new 9000 series which will be way better.

im planning on building a whole new PC soon, and im going to heading into water cooling.

Re: CPU cooler,

yea id lvoe to do water cooling....but im just to parinoid about putting liquid inside a computer lol

Re: CPU cooler,

As long as the seals are good (which they usually are) you should be fine. And most of the coolant is non-conductive just for that reason. So if you get a leak, you just let the parts air-dry overnight, and they should be okay.

XP-120 is no better than the XP-90.

None, go custom made.

Correct, the larger fan only means it is quieter since it spins at a lower RPM.

For water cooling? I would trust anything Newegg.com would have. Zalman for sure has some new cooling system that are "revolutionary" in that they don't use any fans (thus all you hear is the hum of a small pump).

Check out FrozenCPU.com for great cooling solutions.

Watercooling guidealong with reccomendations on what to buy.

Re: CPU cooler,

I highly recommend water cooling, I don't have it in my current system, but the next one I build is going to have liquid cooling for sure.

Water coolings is a little bit more expensive than air cooling but has much better performance.

$50 CPU cooler + 3x $15 case fans + $35 VGA Cooler (Like Artic Cooling Silencer series) adds up to $130. And a decent liquid cooling setup runs between $120-$180 usually

As for brands I think swiftech makes good ones, and thermaltake makes one that allows you to put a water block with a big heatsink built in, instead of one of those wimpy water blocks for even better cooling.
