I've read up on HSF quite abit. So now, I'm already planning to get one since my computer is always around 63degrees. I'm running a Pentium D 930 currently with stock HSF. Very noisy when about 3k rpm and above. So now, I have a budget of RM150 (cos I also wanna get a 1GB RAM). And I'm very picky
Casing is a small iCute with appox. 17.5cm from proc to side panel. Side panel is a window, so I'd prefer something less than 14cm so that there's still space between the HSF and the panel.
And obviously, when we change the HSF, we want something effective.
Everybody wants a silent setup. So yes... being super silent is another plus.
I love lights... so I love bling blings. One, it either comes with a nice blue/while led fan, or, the fan can be changed (fan price must be included in RM150 budget). This is not a must, but it will be another plus.
I'm here to ask opinion from those who've used any HSF to recommend me something within my means. It'll be better if you can tell me where to get it.
Summary... Size+silent+performance+bling bling = RM150 = (which HSF)
go for CoolerMaster Gemin II @ RM150 like that.
