I was need to upgrade my processor cooling but im in a bind. I can't deicde between the Aerocool HT-101 or the Gigabyte 3D Rocket Cooler-Pro. I've read very good reviews on both of them but i just dont know ...Has annyone here tried one of these coolers or does anyone have any better suggestions? :confused:

zalman CNPS 7000a-cu or a thermalright xp120 w/ a 120mm fan

I am a huge fan of the Zalman CNPS 7000a-Cu. Performs as well as the best, and it doesn't need a Tornado to do it.

The only cooler I use on all cpu's "different fans" is the Thermalright SLK-800, sure there are later versions but they are not needed.
Nothing more needs to be said once you have used one with even a slow 2.1w Sunon fan they keep temps below 35 deg C on any cpu.
NB; a well cooled case should have your cpu running at +8 - +10 Deg C above the ambient air.
Shout yourself a cheap A/C, both you and the PC will be happy, my A/C runs the entire lounge room at a nice 24.5 deg C, cooler if needed.
I live in QLD where in summer it's 35 - 40 Deg C outside, so inside it's still 32+ or so.
Most of my good PC's live in Lian-Li PC-60 cases "all cases fitted with blowholes" and the extra rear fan added on all Lian-Li cases.
The difference of a simple blowhole with a quiet 80mm fan in a cheap case can make a dramatic difference to temps, as much as 10 deg C in some cases.
The good old Digi-Doc with all it's temp sensors will find your case hot spots, for EG; in a dual rear fan case, the bottom fan needs to be slightly faster than the top fan due to the added heat coming from the vid card, it's heat has to be removed before the cpu's fan grabs the warm air.
Also the quiet but powerful in CFM Enermax 92mm adjustable makes a great input fan on any single input fan case.
Also work well om SLK-900's where they take a 92mm fan, will push 50+ cfm's with stuff all noise.
