CPU AirCooler Performance... Which should you choose? Ref: 255With so many Aircoolers on the market at the moment, all being variations on the same theme, it's hard to know which one is the right one to choose...
Check out this recent Bit-Tech review for help.
Fan Power Converter Ref: 3064 pin molex to 3 pin adapter which reduces the 12v feed to the fan to reduce noise. Will also reduce airflow.Once you have one of these adapters, any further STANDARD 4pin to 3pin adapters that are connected onto the passthru connector will also run at the reduced voltage. Please note, these adapters should NEVER be connected to any device other than fans.Please note, O-CuK can accept no responsibility or liability for damage which may result in the use of this product.

Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme For Sockets: Intel LGA775 / AMD AM2 Ref: 16The differences between the Ultra 120 and the Ultra 120 Extreme are not so easy to notice. The heatsinks are virtually identical with the only difference being that the Extreme version has two extra U-shaped heatpipes. These additional heatpipes help to transfer the heat away from the CPU even faster, making it Thermalright’s most effective CPU cooler to date! The cooler utilizes the same winglet design of the Ultra-120 helping to minimize air resistance and maximize air flow. Strap on any 120mm fan and watch those high CPU temperatures go down.

OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler Sockets AMD 754/755/939/AM2, Intel LGA775 Ref: 67Using a distinctive, highly efficient heat pipe and fin design developed by Xigmatek, combined with a low-noise fan, the Vendetta is built to tackle heat-induced performance degradation and solves the cooling challenges of today?s enthusiast system builds.While traditional heat pipe CPU coolers typically use a solid base plate design, the Vendetta?s three pure copper heat pipes make direct contact with the processor allowing for maximum heat transfer at a more rapid pace. A novel ?dimple? design in the micro-configuration of the stacked aluminum fans adds turbulences, thereby reducing the skin effect of laminar air flow. Moreover, a folded "V" shape of the macro-configuration of the fins adds surface area without compromising the compact design. As a result, the Vendetta offers incredibly efficient cooling area comparable to much larger coolers which is reflected in its performance.The ultra-quiet fan cools without disruption with its anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, resulting in quiet, yet extremely effective performance. Because the OCZ Vendetta has a compact design, even the most crowded cases can accommodate the cooler with ease. » Click here for Manufacturer's Specs (Opens in New Window) Price: £30.72 exc VAT (£36.10 Including VAT at 17.5%)
Akasa AK-965BL Intel LGA 775, 3U HeatPipe, CU base cooler w/Blue LED PWM fan Ref: 4010Blue is the colour – The award winning AK-965 has been transformed into a cooler that would grace anyone’s PC system. The 92mm fan has four LED, crystal clear frame and opaque blue rotor blades that illuminate bright blue when the cooler is operational.The AK-965BLUE delivers unrivalled performance in the 92mm fan class and adds colour with style to the system.The lo-noise AK-965BL uses a copper base for maximum heat absorption with three long U-shape heatpipes for rapid and even heat transfer. 45 aluminium fine fins facilitate rapid heat dissipation. The lo-noise 92mm round frame fan uses INTEL approved power management (PWM) ensuring efficient and quiet cooling. Intel reference push-pin retention is used for safe and easy attachment. The specific fan positioning directs dedicated airflow for VRM cooling (VRM - CPU Voltage Regulator Modules located on the motherboard). Thermal compound is pre-applied.The AK-965BL can be assembled horizontally or vertically as the heatpipes work independently of installation orientation.
