120 pages??? hell no... break it down and put it into 4 or 5 pages, anything more and people will just ignore the ones they never heard of or care not to look at...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

BTH, I went straight to the results page to see which performed the best. Then read up on a couple of the top dogs.

It's no good if it's broke during shipping! :P
Yeah, not so colossal review. 25 coolers. Used thermal paste that come with the coolers, LGA775 setup. At least they took a hot CPU, though I guess a quad would have been a good test too.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

Default Re: For any1 who is looking for a CPU air cooler!

I agree, it went a little overboard in certain sectors, and probably should have used identical thermal paste throughout, although that isnt the most important factor and would only effect the temperature by a few degrees. But overall, it gets the job done and most importantly, all the info is in 1 place/article.

It was the most up to date and lucrative CPU cooler comparison article I could find.
