help me choose!!!

I'm just assuming this is for the P-D 940 in your signature? Also, which Zalman are you referring to?
The Zalman CNPS9500 is a good performing heatsink with relatively low noise but it is really expensive; almost too expensive. The Zalman CNPS7700 is a little more reasonably priced and still has decent performance. But personally, out of the choices you've listed, I would go with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 as it is very reasonably priced and performs well.

You should also consider some of the heatsinks from Thermalright, like the XP-90, SI-120, Ultra 90, or Ultra 120.

whats the difference anyway? is iot just the prize or the performance as well???

and can you help me im not familiar with Thermalright, like the XP-90, SI-120, Ultra 90, or Ultra 120.???

i believe the xp 90 is a heatpipe cooler, the SI120 is a more complicated version of the xp90. The ultra-90 is a tower cooler and the ultra 120 is a bigger version of the ultra 90.

I reccomend the ultra 120. zalman 9500 isn't bad either. We have a review of it.

The ultra 120 is tall, you better have a pretty wide case to hold it

if your choice includes thermalright as well, then I would recommend it over the other 3 ...

If you have the space, i'd suggest the Thermaltake Big Typhoon. It's available for $49.99 at newegg, just $7.00 more than the Blue Orb II.

an si 120 is pretty short and it cools well, if space is limited.

halutzparilla · August 4th, 2006

so its better for me to have big typhoon rather than blue orb 2???

which is better anyway Zalman 9500 or any of the Thermaltake or is it really suffecient enough with artic cool freezer 7???
