CPU coolers
A good CPU cooler will make your PC quieter and allow you to overclock your CPU to higher frequencies than is possible with a stock cooler. And with so many good, low-priced CPU coolers available, there's no reason not to upgrade.

Review Title: Cool Personified
Comment by Jehricou99 at 12:28pm 19th December 2007
Verdict: Chillin\' but bitchin\' with your fingers.
Thought at first glance this wouldn’t fit in my case, but made it with mm to spare. Check before fitting that nothing needs to be installed below or close to it, as its sheer size makes it difficult to do afterwards. The fins are rather sharp, mine installed with knuckle blood on them, as I struggled to get graphics card & memory fitted alongside it. Performance is excellent. Cools my AMD2 5000+ (Black edition) down to 17C!! I can\'t hear it but can feel the air being move. What a wonderful piece of engineering.

Review Title: Coooooool, and silent too

Verdict: Great thermal performance, Incredible looks, and Silence makes this the definitive AM2 cooler
I was apsolutely astonished when i removed this thing from its box, it looks like a block of flats. It\'s curves wrap round the bottom, and the whole thing flies skyward. Once i\'d got over my sence of vertigo, i had an interesting realisation. This thing weights almost a kilogram, and i\'m about to suspend it off my (poorly mounted) motherboard. I dropped the Inginity into place and noticed that it did fit. \"It looks like i\'m going to be doing this then\", i thought. I added some more screws into the motherboard (for support) and (using some akasa thermal paste) clamped the cooling towerblock to my Athlon 6000+. (very easily i might add)
It is silent
And it is cool
My pc idles at about 29C
and under load hits about 38C
