Im picking out a heatsink for my soon to be heavily overclocked X2 3800+ and I need you to help me pick between these two, or if you have another suggestion let me know. First of this is my case and mobo: I should warn you that I dont have the best aiflow.

Heres the two heatsink choices:

http://www.xoxide.com/zalman-cnps9500-led-cooler.html

http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-xp-90c-cpu-cooler.html with http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/pa92mesp.html

The only reason im reluctant to go with the zalman is because i heard that is sorta loud. And with the Thermalright I can always just put a low speed fan if I think its too loud. Thanks for the input.
 
I've already read that but im asking because it doesnt include anything about the Zalman CNPS9500.
 
I would go with the CNPS9500. I believe it's the 2nd-best air-cooling solution available*, only second to the Big Typhoon, which weighs almost 1kg.

*Note: This does not include an SI-120 with a 200cfm Delta strapped on. We're not all insane :p

Sorry! :p

I will add it in due time.
 
Might as well add the Zalman 9500 to the list while I'm here.

edit: ARGH I've hit the 20000 character limit!
