Best htpc cpu cooler

TerrorFirmer · 2010-02-12 15:41:00

Hi (again), Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to a good cooler that performs close to silently. I was looking at the corsair self contained water cooler, but its a bit pricey at 75 euro. Was looking at the cheapish but decent looking Nexus 2300/3000 on Komplett - the 3000 looks a bit big for the case though…

Hi (again),

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to a good cooler that performs close to silently. I was looking at the corsair self contained water cooler, but its a bit pricey at 75 euro. Was looking at the cheapish but decent looking Nexus 2300/3000 on Komplett - the 3000 looks a bit big for the case though (nox media 2). Any suggestions welcome. The build will be:

Corsair 520w hx
nox media 2
vapor-x 4890
1x120mm fan
1x80mm fan (both yet to be decided as per other thread)

Want it to be relatively quiet - in my current build, a combo of arctic freezer, ram cooler and akasa fans has it pretty loud, irritatingly so.

Noctua have a couple of low profile heatsinks that I've heard good things about. Like all Noctua they are pretty pricey though.
