 |  Cooling in Australia! Alright i am getting rid of my stock cooling in hope for something that will cool well but fit in with my very poor budget. Since i am in Australia i am limited to pricing and all the lovely brands you get in fancy America  .Here's the sites i am using: :: PLE Computers :: Home Now on the PLE site they have a NOCTUA cooler for $79.00 that my friend says is really good and has won awards and that hes getting one as well. Now i am just making sure that i am getting the best cooler/price that i can get, $79.00 is my maximum. Anyone have a look at the sites and see anything cheaper/better. Rig is in my sig.

 | Re: Cooling in Australia! I would say thats the best one between those two sites in that price range. But that seems quite expensive. Better Redirecting to LiveFire web site

| Re: Cooling in Australia! I've got a watercooling system for my CPU; I got the parts from Pc Case Gear, and Gam Mods but since you're on a budget, you'd be looking at air cooling. I have used a Thermaltake Sonic Tower pretty successfully on a Sempron 2800+, X2 4600+ and X2 6000+ staticICE :: sonic tower : Australia's comprehensive computer hardware and gadget price comparison search engine the 6000+ I have is a 120W model, and I did overclock it, so it'll definitely be good for your E6550 just be sure to put 1 or 2 120mm fans on it. It doesn't cool nearly as well without a fan.

| Re: Cooling in Australia! Thx App I will probably be going with the NOCTUA now because i saw a really good review on it. Thanks for the replies though i can use them in future reference.
