Cooling
Stock coolers are OK if you like mediocre cooling and a noisy fan. Me, I prefer to upgrade the coolers on my systems.
Note: Many have wanted me to cover forms of cooling other than air - these will be added at a future date.
What can I say about this cooler other than it’s quieter than the Intel stock cooler and a heck of a lot more efficient. It’s also easy to fit and remove and tends to fit well into cramped motherboards. No matter what other air cooler I look at, I always come back to this one.
It’s also pretty cheap.
Price - about $20
AM2 cooler - Scythe Infinity - Unchanged
The Scythe Infinity will fit a whole host of sockets (including the LGA775, but I like the Infinity on the AM2 because it’s so easy to fit. Also, this is a pretty good cooler - you can dispense with the fan altogether if what you’re cooling is an Athlon 64 - even if it is overclocked.
Price - about $35
