AMD64 2800+ HSF choices

[DarkLegacy]

Will be for my AMD64 2800+ when i get it, plan to OC it so wonder which of the 2 is the better HSF & has easier installation.

Thermaltake Venus 12

Thermaltake Silentboost.

Any other options are always a welcome =).

The motherboard will be either the DFI Lanparty UT Nf3, & the MSi Neo 2 plat (Socket 754).Havnt purchased neither yet. Thought I would make ya aware since I know some mobos have issues with certain HSF's.

ok it sounds like you want silent cooling so here my recommendations

the XP-120(for the dfi board,msi wont fit it)

a fan for this sink is up to you it fits 120mm so thats your best option for silence and good airflow

now the XP-90 fits both boards

you also can pick a fan to your tastes but this one only fits 92mm fans

edit: actually how much noise will you tolerate, if you dont care heres what i recommend

92mm vantec tornado-119cfm for XP-90

120mm ystech only 109cfm but will be quieter
