Processor Fan or Cooler for a Gaming PC
The stock processor coolers that come with retail boxed processors will do the job just fine for keeping your CPU nice and cool. It’s when you want to over-clock your processor or quiet your computer you’ll have to start looking at third party CPU coolers.
One in particular that does a fine job of both is the Zalman CNPS7700-Cu cooler (B0006VHVK0). Its unique design allows both maximum heat dissipation and minimum noise. The fan speed is adjustable which allows for maximum cooling during intense firefights and minimum noise while watching a DVD.
