From now on, let's use this thread to discuss what heatsinks you want recommended to you.

Using an AMD phenom II X3 720 processor with stock heatsink, fan's around 2500-3000 rpm/40 degrees when idle. However when on load it goes up to 5000-6000+rpm just to maintain at 55 degrees, which is hella noisy/obvious. I use the cpu resources alot with games on(WOW & others),multiple firefox tabs,msn,music,apps,etc

Was thinking of getting a 3rd party heatsink from lowyat after CNY within the RM150-250 range. Looking for a heatsink that can maintain good temperature(doesn't have to be super low, but good enough so my chip doesn't get damaged in the long run) but most importantly silent so it's not noisy when I'm gaming. Any recommendations for one? Currently thinking of getting CM Hyper 212+ based on the reviews and really low price.

V6GT? You have a nice budget there that can afford even a megahalem

With this budget , you may can get a TRUE 120 at garage sales there . But if you want to save more money , just get the coolermaster hyper 212+ at just less than rm100

forgot to ask. You overclocking?

i wud suggest prolimatech supermega or megahalem.. those are good coolers

I'm using the CM Hyper 212+ on a i5-750 (1156).
Wanted to change the stock 120mm fan to one with blue LED.
does anyone have any recommendations for a 120mm 4-pin fan that has varying speed (e.g. 600-2000rpm)? (with blue led)

i dont know about led fans but i personally like acrtic cooling f12 fans.. they are silent and good airflow too

bro, can i ask?
im having the same problem with knighty. my cpu is AMD Phenom II X4 965 at stock clock with stock cooler. its so damn noisy even at idle. can any1 recommend me a very gud cpu cooler below RM250.00?
im playing GTA 4 COD and other games at high setting@1280x1024 and planning to OC in the future...thx

CM 90cfm fans? Preferably don't go for LED fans... more bling than anything.

CM Hyper 212+... cheap and good performance too... RM250, you can buy the V6GT too..but what is your case?

Why don't try Thermalright Venomous ? Just add RM 10 for it or get a used one

lol....i don hav case yet...nude pc
but now saving money to build custom case

this is my 1st time building a pc....i hav VX, V6GT, V8 n some others cooler in mind but cant decide which 1
and thats why im here

Thermalright Venomous is more better in it performace .

I'm looking for chipset heatsink.. aluminium or copper..


i need it a lot.. any idea where can i get them cheaply?..
jalan pasar got?..

im also looking for thermal pad..


thnx in advance..

search for nicholasteoh or sumthing. forgot his name. but he sold this thermalpad

For your inquiry , niclasteoh does selling chipset heatsink . Here you go , link .

anyone knows where can i get this retention bracket for socket 1155/1156 for sunbeam ccf?

http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/cooler...56-Core-i5.html

I got my bracket from this guy here. He used to sell CCFs, maybe he has extra left in stock

hope the pros can help. I have a AMD Phenom II x6 1055T. I currently OC'ed it to 3.7GHz with the stock cooler with very good temp but it is damn freakin noisy. Was hoping anyone could recommended a cooler that is about the same size as the stock cooler. I don't want those large big cooler. Just want one that is the same size or at least the same height but is less noisy. Would be a added bonus if the cooler is good enough to help push the OC more but that is not the top priority. Main thing is same height and less noise

ps: Would it be possible to just change the fan to a different brand or is it better to change the whole hsf as the only problem i have is actually the noise as the OC temps are pretty good.
