Hey guys, 

 

a local site here is doing a stock clearance on these two coolers. At a way later date I will be going Water cooling but for the price of these i'm sure its better than the stock cooling ive got on at the moment. 

 

So which one do you guys recommend ? please don't give alternatives. These are the only two I'm looking at since this price is like $5. so why not. 

 

Zalman FSB Quiet CPU Cooler - CNPS90F

Or 

 

Coolermaster Blade Master 120

Out of those 2, I'd go for the Coolermaster one because of the tower design.

 

Why tower ? thought those zalmans were great ? 

CM is better and you can repurpose the fan later. 

Already got all the fans I need inside my Rig, but I get where you coming from.

Coolermaster has (more) heatpipes and a greater surface area, which results in better cooling. The Zalman you've linked is nothing more than a glorified stock cooler.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!
