Default Need Cooling for my new CPU & Mobo.

I'm pairing an Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice E3) with an ASRock 939Dual (The one with both an AGP and a PCI Express slot). I am hoping to overclock to 2.4 or up and need some advice on keeping my temps down.

I have interest in the following:

Thermaltake's Big Typhoon

Zalman's 9500LED (or maybe its cousin the 7700-Cu)

Cooler Master's Hyper 6+


P.S. I am not sure if any of these would actually fit on my motherboard so advice would be helpful, and pPlease post of the ease of installation also.

Not sure about board compatibility but the typhoon would be your best bet. If you read reviews youll find nothing can beat it.

The big Typhoon would be the way to go if it will work on the MB, if not also look at the xp90 with a delta fan.Great cooling at a good price

Definitely the Big Typhoon and definitely NOT the CNPS7700CU, I have it and it really sucks, besides, after about a year the copper starts to oxidize and looses cooling power.

XP-120 > Big Typhoon

Read the reviews. I have never seen the Typhoon beat a XP-120 with a Decent Fan.
