Best socket 775 air cooler

This Noctua is my current favorite, having used one.

The Freezer is too loud for me.

The Noctua is a bit lighter, a bit less bulky, extremely quiet and is very powerful at cooling.

Looks like quite a good cooler, costs a bit more than the Tuniq though, do you know where there is a review on this cooler?

Yeah

Its also very well recommended on Overclockers UK at the moment.

Is anyone else having problems with the OCUK website at the moment? It seems very slow for me.

OCUK site is fine for me. And thanks for that review link, I'll have a read of that now or tomorrow morning.

I like the look of that Noctua

very quite, yet also very effective, more so even than the tuniq.

Yep.

I don't know why more people on here don't recommend it.

I know it is a bit more expensive, but if you are thinking of buying a Tuniq, you might as well spend a few quid more and get a much better one. And much quieter.

The fan alone is worth about £10 compared to most CPU fans that are worth about £2.

well that review said the fan on it's own socts £15

The Thermaltake BigTyphoon 120 tooks good too, and seems to cool slightly better than the Noctua. BUt wha I might do, is get a Noctua fan and stick it on the Thermaltake to make it quieter.
