cooling

MercyFlush · 06-06-2008, 12:55 PM

ok im going to be making some money this summer and im going to upgrade some of my computer parts a bit, definetly the sound card, definetly the cpu cooler, and maybe the actual cpu. for the cpu cooler, what would you reccommend? a thermal electric cooler or high end air cooler? i currently have liquid cooling, and its a pain to have to perform some sort of maintenance on it every 6 months or year, and its not a great cooler in the first place. please let me know what you think. and also, what is the best intel cpu available for about $250?

This will depend on you case,Does this thing run hot ? If your case supports some fans, then use at least 2 of them.. I never had any problem with mine.

i have the antec 900 case

Doesn't that case come with fans already ? It looks like it has 3 or 4 fans,,,
That should be more than enough..I always use two, One on the back, and one on the side...

yeah it has plenty of fans but i need to know what kind of cooling for the cpu would be the best choice
