HSF for Socket 775

[digitalman]

I am saving for a Conroe system. Which Heat sink would you use?

1) Zalman CNPS9500 LED

2) Scythe KATANA Cu (SCKTN-CU1000)

3) Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

Saving for Conroe, which probably means you don't want to spend a large amount, right? The Freezer 7 Pro is good on the cheap.

Haha, I am waiting for conroe, but I am going to be cooling a presler in the meantime. I just ordered a Katana Cu, and was debating between that and a Freezer 7 Pro. Have you seen this yet:

On the Katana Cu page, as well as the second to last page of the review, you can compare the AC Freezer Pro vs. the Katana Cu, as well as other heatsinks. The performance seem to be very very close, identical in fact at 100% fan power. What I like is the flexibility in using fans, very easy to change fans around. It looks as if the stock fan is great for low speed operation, which I will be more concerned with. The added fan controller was very helpful too.

The Katana Cu only costs $5 more at most places, so I went with that and am getting it today.
