HSF's

[fireguy]

I am looking at replacing my current Heatsink fan and I was wondering what is the best available on the market. I was thinking of getting a Cooler Master HHC-001.

Just check these pages for the coolers you like, remember one thing though, do you want high performance or you want a silent system.
Hard op conclusion page where they put the performance against sound production. (http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/cooling/roundup1101/index6.html)
Or read the entire review (http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/cooling/roundup1101/index2.html)
Another usefull round up of HSF (http://dansdata.com/coolercomp.htm)

You can't really say which is the best.
A good way is to devide the area into parts.

Loud
Soft
RPM Fan Speed
Copper/Alli

etc
i'm sure you will work out a good one

What CPU are you trying to cool too? Intel or AMD? Slot 1/A, Socket 370/A, P4?

Also what factors are you looking at? Noise? Extreme cooling?

[fireguy]

I kind of thought I would have needed to put more info in my post. I will be looking for one that is primarily for cooling, so anything else is a second issue. It will be for a AMD Athlon chip with Socket A.

Well if your PC supports it Swiftech MCA462 Or something like that(M462A?) Loud as hell and keeps it like an icebox in there

Then you might want to go for the Zen heatpipe, it gives great performance and makes a lot less noise than other HSF.
