Hi guys. Can you please recommend me good CPU cooler in any price range for which installation you dont have to remove motherboard?? Thanks in advance.
You'll have to remove the motherboard on basically every cooler unless it uses the Intel type twist push pin things ... I'd go with a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme - best air cooling out there - and just remove the motherboard
If i would want to remove my mobo i would go whit Tuniq tower 120. For that zalman. That guy above recommended it to me. You need to remove mobo for its install??
EDIT: I just checked if you can get Tuniq tower 120 in my country. You cant. :(
Not sure - google it for some reviews .... If you do ever get a tuniq then watch out when you un-mount it ... i had two and with both when i removed it there was so much tension in the springs that the tops of the thumb screws broke off
[QUOTE="bigster72"]What country do you live in,i assume in Europe.domke13
Yup. I read that sunbeam (or whoever produces Tuniq tower) didnt agree whit some ecological things and their produtcts are very hard find in europe.
well i live in the Netherlands and i have no problem bying them,if you take the Zalman you have to take the mobo out since you have Intel,if you had an AMD you could put right on.
Is there any good cooler out ther that you dont have to remove your mobo for its installation??? If not than ill probably take Thermalright Ultra or Zalman 9700. What about Zalman 9500 or 9550??? DO you need to remove mobo for its install??
EDIT: I just checked a reveiw and it said for socket 775 you don't have to remove the motherboard

And how good that cooler is??? It looks interesting. Whitout fan on pasive cooling they were able to reach overclock almost 3,2Ghz on X-bit labs review. That was only whit passive cooling and the temp never reached 75°C. Loos nice. And i see its also very silent. I will check out other reviews.
I can't comment on how good it is seeing as i've only scanned one review and that was to see if u needed to install a backplate ... its basically a rip of the Scyth Ninja ... I wouldn't run it passive, have atleast one fan on it - i'd go for a bit better fan aswell .. something 50+ CFM, look at the Sony S-Flex fans the one which moves 63CFM @ 28dCb ...
Ok. Ill probably pikc this one. Or maybe Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme. Ill see for some tests. I know you have to remove mobo for its installation, but if its really that good than i will do it.
Sounds good ... Loads of reviews have put the U120Ex above everything else air and i'm having great results with mine Anubis_386
I just read review of it. On Xbit labs it got editors choice and they were able to overclock Q6600 to 3,3Ghz easily whit it. I ma probably going to pick Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme. Thank you guys for all answers.
