Thermaltake Blue Orb 2, Artic Freezer 7, Zalmn for LGA 775 - Page 3

halutzparilla · August 5th, 2006

not sure yet, but i'm planning for a Pentium D 940, and i'm taking big typhoon...

as soon as i got it, i'm overclocking it...

my undecided rig see it below with my signiture...

i'm pleased you looking over me, believe me, i'm not an easy person to persuade... i'm a very picky person...

I was deciding between Zalman 9500 vs Big typhoon, i heard from a couple of my friends that Zalman 's fins are to sharp and the fan dies after 6 mos up, big typhoon they say is a lot durable compare to Zalman 9500... And with regards to Artic Freezer 7, i found out that the fan dies like Zalman's and with the frame its easy to break...

see i do my research, with big typhoon the only problem i saw is the size its gigantic...

Lol yes, it is gigantic, thanks the 120mm fan. :P
Coincidence, I just repaired a s478 computer with a Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu LED, the Heatsink bracket was broken. =/ Anyway the guy prefered to change his Asus P4P800 SE for an ECS P4M800PRO-M478 then to find a bracket lol.

The fixation for the CNPS9500 however is much better, and shouldn't be much of a problem for anyone. My only gripe about the Big Typhoon is it's fixation method, you'll need to remove the motherboard and install a plate under. Nothing really hard to do, but still a hassle sometimes.

yeah i saw that on the shop i was visiting (my friend), its really a hassle to install, but like what i wrote, its worth the time coz it cools the CPU really good...

The Big Typhoon is a very good cooler. I also very much like the Zalman CNPS9500 and the Thermalright Ultra 120, which we'll be reviewing shortly

nice choice on the cooler. How much does the 940 go for now a days.
