i wanna know which hsf is better in my RM50-70 budget.i found out CM xdream III not bad n just sell RM55 in bulk only.i not a hardcore oc but i just oc my gc a bit only.my core temp reach 66 degrees thts y i wan change hsf to reduce temp.i duwan buy a exp hsf coz after win vista n dx10 release then i will buy a new pc.any suggestion?

Why don't u add a little more and go buy yourself a Hyper 48?
It's better in many ways...

Ok, u're not a hardcore oc'er, but, what if one day, you want to try to push your processor to the max?

Surely you don't want your processor to end up blown coz it's too hot right?

My suggestion is to get yourself a better heatsink rather than CM Xdream III

hmm...hyper 48 cost how much???but i knew i wouldnt push this pc to max coz this pc is free by the insurance company n someday they will take back the pc when they want back.somemore i will build a new pc once nvidia8800 n dx10 release

For ur budget, definitely Dream III(X) would be ur best choice.
Hyper 48 cost RM150 at bulk, but with better cooling.

PS:Are u using stock HsF? Dream III(X) cant do much in cooling(difference only a 3-4Celcius), of coz it is better in terms of fan noise.

ya.i using stock hsf.difference so less only??is thr got any hsf tht better than dream III in my budget?

dont get that better find a 2nd ones on that budget shud get a decent hsf.IMO xdream just cools ur cpu 3-4 degrees the best.if u wanna fully utilise it use it with AS5

as5 how much?

its retail at rm30.but u can get cheaper ere thru moderno or dinster(busy at d moment) or any bulk seller ere. ..

cooler master hyper L3 if lga775, cooler master sussoro if amdk8...

RM30???somemore better than xdream III???
btw i using 478mobo.not lga775...

That RM30 is the thermal paste la, not heatsink...
Aiyoyo...

Um... if you o/c ur GC, why r u looking for a HSF for the CPU?? Those small Dream3/Hyper L3/Susurro will reduce noise significantly (rather than temp), if your (i assume) GC core temp is 66C, is it during idle or load? Go for a better casing fan instead or if you are up to it, a better GC cooler...

Nice...

If thinking of changing to other VGA heatsink, the best right now is still FS-V7...

But if have more money, you can go for FS-V9
