Ok..i know about the million threads like this already...but im sorry...need to ask for opnions anyways :(

Thanks
 
Feel free to list "which of these are best". It's hard to judge with no contestants. :(

lol - That's funny. :D

Since "cost isn't a factor" I voted Ninja plus a wicked awesome 120mm fan. In the real world I'd vote for the Freezer.
 
i know im just being a paranoid android...but theres a fear of it breaking off and crashing into my 7800GT....course..that would give me reason to go 7900...but still :p

also, new case will be a Stacker 830W...everything else in my sig is the same.

Buying from Jab-Tech is significantly cheaper for the Ninja than most places...pity their regular "Ninja with your choice of five fans" thing has sold out :(

The Ninja is only ~$10 more than the freezer, and for the performance I think you're way better off w/the Ninja.
 
I voted zalman 9500 just becuase of size. I like to use small cases sometimes so I like the flexibility of the smaller heatsink. Plus I have had really good luck with zalman products.

I don't mean to get into an argument, but...

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=316435&affiliate=pricegrabber

$28.50 shipped for the Freezer 64

The jab-tech price on the Ninja was $43 NOT including shipping. I don't see where you only get $10 difference. Looks more like at least $20 to me...

I'd also call your attention this particular CPU cooler roundup that has the Ninja beating the AC 64 by only 2C using a Pabst (a spendy fan NOT included in the $43 price tag).

sry bout that, i used the price off of newegg.

the ninja is just far better at scaling in terms of cfm/dba, but still beats it in the high performance range. i suppose it's still all about how much you wanna spend.

And since the poll was "cost not a factor" you gotta choose the Ninja + Papst ALL the time. :D

Since you've got a window in your case maybe the Zalman would look the best depending on your preference. The Ninja will be kinda... bulky and industrial lookin'. The AC64 will look kinda boring and the Zalman would look kinda "blingy".

Choices, choices! :D

hmmmmmmmmmmm....that thought didnt strike me :p

Well the point of having a window is to show off your machine! :D

Looks are in the eye of the beholder so no one can tell you that it's ugly or stupid looking. It's all personal preference.

I think performance-wise the Ninja + Papst is the tops for air cooling.

Price/performance has to go to the AC64.

hmmmm...so theres no outright winner then....

Ain't competition and capitalism great? :D

It's the way it should be. Products for everyone's taste.

Yeah, definetly can't underestimate the sex appeal!
 
I ordered the AC Freezer Pro yesterday if that answers the question.
 
can the fan on the 9500 be changed to a non LED or at least different colored one ?
 
I have a Scythe Ninja Plus and it cools my 3200+ OC'd @2.75ghz and it runs 40 idle and 55 full load, that's with a slow 120mm fan. It's a great HS.

if u can take about 20 minutes u can just take the fan apart on the 9500 and clip the leds.
i did that on mine because i hate blue.

sweet...think i might just do that...

although i plan to OC....air cooling for now is just to tide me over until a WC kit in about 1 1/2 months time...so i might just go with the 9500....cos...you gotta admit...it does look cool :D :D

no, I think he is saying that the HS fan is blowing toward the front of your case while the 2 case fans are blowing toards the back. The fan of the 9500 blows air across the HS.
