Get a 5.1 & just don't use the rear surrounds.

Just get the 2.1 z2300 THX from logitech. Here's a reviewof my set. They're awesome. :D

Exactly what I use...very good indeed.

Fayainz...how do you rate the Zalman CNPS9500LED you have fitted?

fayainz · Post by **fayainz** » 05 Mar 2006, 03:33

Of all the HSF's I have used, this one must be the most efficient.
It's super quiet, and stone cold. Some people don't like it because its just so big. I recommend it to anyone looking for a awesome cooler.

*COUGH* needs a good clean :D

Might replace the g-power pro with one.....was expecting to see a little more colour emitted from the fan, my g-power is running at 5v and it does an awesome job BUT....it blows directly onto mobo....so spreads heat onto back of the upper GTX...the Zalman would direct the heat towards the exhaust fan...

Ta for the snap.

I've heard good things and bad things about the CNPS9500... I'll reserve opinions myself until I've had the chance to test one. Provided you have an exhaust fan where it directs airflow, I'm sure it'd be good - I like the CNPS7700, however, for it's size (it covers the mosfets around the CPU bracket and blows air on them, too... ;))

Will definitely be testing out the 9500 as soon as possible, though...

It's a pretty good hsf. I have one myself cooling my 3800x2 and according to Sisoft Sandra, my CPU is currently running at 34c.

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 05 Mar 2006, 18:27

I'm presuming that's pretty much idle, yes? :)

Must be, if that's stressed i'm gonna buy one of these fans right now. :shock:

I must say my Idle temp's are around 28Ã‚Â° - 29Ã‚Â°, after an hour long session of Quake 4 it does ramp up, but I'm yet to see it go over 40Ã‚Â°.

My temps right now are at 40c. It was at 34c when I woke up and my room was freezing cold cause I accidentely left the window open. Hm, dunno how you get your idle temps so low. Perhaps my cpu just runs hotter on average than yours. *shrugs* Do you use fan mate 2? I just have the fan plugged directly into the fan header.

The link isn't working Gilly.

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 06 Mar 2006, 17:02

Works for me ... :?

Looks good ... have you tried the Zmatrix ... it can look really stunning with the animated code over the top ... your eye is fooled in to thinking it is all animated.

and the WSGF Cog widget works well on that background ... :mrgreen: :wink:
