which heatsink will be better for my setup.

[AthlonXP]

I was wondering which new heatsink to go with, currently I have the zalman 7700 and its doing its job but the temps when full load get a little high at 52c while the idel is usually around 34c with my chip at 2.7 with 1.375 volts in it. I was wondering which heatsink might do the job better the Thermalright SI-120 or the new Zalman 9500??? Also I currently use an antec 3700 case with 2 120mm fans and was wondering would the lian li v1000b case help improve on the overall temps.

both those HSF are pretty nice. I think either would keep the temps more inline.
I would go with the SI-120 for a low noise, high cooling combo. Just choose a good fan.

I the Zalman is sweet, but i think it goes for $60-80. If you don't mind spending the cash, it's awesome...


As for the case, i don't think it is going to have a huge difference on temps. As long as you have a good path for airflow you should be fine.

The scythe ninja is another option to consider; it offers better performance than either of the other options you listed. That is, if it fits in your case.
