Scythe has brought out a new cpu heatsink cooler and it should be avialable in the UK soon.
This is a high end air cooler that is up there with the best and will probably beat the rest of the best with low noise operation.

I'll stick with my Arctic Cooler 64 me thinks. Looks almost the same, and you can't get quieter than silent usually :)
At the price of water cooling at the moment. I know where im going.

I have the Zalman CNPS9500-LED, it's got my ickle 4000+ to 2.94GHz, fantastic cooler and whisper (literally) quiet.

Leaves zalman and artic cooling in its wake, but it comes down to how much you want to spend and at over £30 it won't be cheap. Core 2 duo idle temp 19c. It is a monster of heatsink at nearly 1KG
[Removed at the request of the author]
hey Sean, what kind of temps do you get with that cooler when idle?
I have artic cooler 64, cost me £20, and its brilliant, i have not had one hot boot on it.
is it worth getting the artic cooler 64??
It's only £13.81 now

\"my amd athlon64 4200 , 2.8ghz dual core idles at 35ºC\"
Need i say more ? :) thats a good temp - altho my INTEL runs at 35 idle... :P (by idle i mean go away and leave it an hour :P)
Another vote for the Freezer Pro :) i do have a Zalman CNPS9500-LED waiting here but they can be a pain to install :(
How about one of these from Asus i think its bigger than the Zalman :shock: think they stopped making them now.

Idle temps mean nothing, my X2 3800 overclocked to 2.4ghz idles @ 33-34c on the stock cooler in a SFF case. Wanna imress me? load it up fully by downloading and running the latest Stress prime Orthos edition http://sp2004.fre3.com/ for dual core cpus, run the small fft test to stress the cpu that should load it up nicely and tell us what you get, on stock cooling i hit just over 50c when i ran it a while back. Those coolers are good though and i wouldn't expext it to go much above mid 40s 8)
