发帖数: 60932 | 1 Amazon has the Cooler Master Hyper 212+, widely regarded as one of the
better bang for the buck cpu air coolers, for $22.99. Its been a couple of
dollars cheaper from places that charge me tax (Newegg) with rebates, but
this is $23 shipped, no rebates and no tax for most.

Amazon also has a nice sale on the Corsair H60 cpu water cooler for $55.93.
This is adequate for basic and mid range overclocking. The cooler master
may outperform it in some instances, but it can put a lot of weight on the
motherboard and may cause clearance problems with ram and components close
to the cpu. Some of the corsair water coolers (mostly the 80 and 100) have
occasional leak problems, but I havent heard of much of that with the 60's.
In any case, its lightweight, easy to attach compared to some big air
coolers, and can offer very good and quiet cooling performance vs the stock
cooler, especially if you can mount it on the inside of an existing 120mm
case fan to get a push/pull airflow on the radiator.

Again, you could have nabbed this for around $50 or less with rebates from
companies that charge california sales tax, but this is no rebate, free
shipping and no tax for most.
In either case, I'd recommend throwing out the directions and watching one
of the handy youtube videos that show how to install, as you'll have a much
easier time and a better result.

I went with the H60. While there is a very small risk of leaking some
coolant into my machine...probably very small if you're careful with the
install...its a lot smaller and leaves a lot more room in the case vs big
air coolers.
