I'm going have you guys decide for my new heatsink. I'm getting this because the Evo can't withstand my OC so until I go real water, this is what I can get.


Either the Zalman closed water loop or the H40. Which one? Only problem with the Zalman is that when I tried re-seatin it, the backplate got stripped and I had to use a plier to hold it and unscrew the front. So which one should I get? Same price.

Should really note that you are cross posting this with the WC gallery thread and my answer still stands. They are on par at best with your Evo. Not going to get better performance with a lateral move.

I didn't post this with the WC gallery thread as far as I know. But sorry if I did.

no gain in performance or temperature control. this is a lateral move.
i'd say neither.. sounds like you need some real temperature control and
a custom loop is only the one to do it for you. down clock your CPU till you get
the funds to do it properly. buying wasted solutions just makes you mad when
you spent money and nothing is better.

another would be to list what you have and what overclock to get a better answer..
just an FYI.

I would say that if you are looking for a sealed liquid cooler, the new Thermaltake 240mm rad version is probably the best. It's about 40pct thicker than the H100 and I have not seen any reports of failing pumps.

Only reason why I was asking was because I could get either one of those for about $30. So I got the Zalman and actually to my surprise dropped my temps considerably. Dropped about 10C, used to be 87C load now 75 - 77C load. Thanks guys and yes, I will be going water at christmas. smile.gif Relatives are probably going to give me a few dollars.
