ASUS P5W DH Deluxe or Intel D975XBX VS ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe - Page 2

I'd recommend the Zalman CNPS9500 CPU cooler. I have achieved excellent overclocks with both an AMD 4800 X2 and an Intel C2D E6600. Plus, it's whisper quiet 95% of the time. When the fan does spool all the way up, it's still fairly quiet, although it is slightly audible over my 120mm case fans when at 100%. And I have some very quiet case fans.

Yep. What quakindude said is right. Those zalman coolers are built to be quiet and have decent cooling at the same time. Even on low speeds, that cooler is adequet.

Although the Ultra-120 will perform slightly better, it may be more worth it for you to buy the Zalman 9500 instead. Like i said before, the mounting is alot easier.
