Need CPU fan/heatsink recommendation
Need CPU fan/heatsink recommendation for this Biostar TForce 7050-M2 Socket AM2 mATX mobo. Going to use (2) 1 GB GSkill Memory.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...133&CatId=2320 Thinking about Zalman 92 mm or Thermaltake Ruby Orb heatsink/fans but mobo RAM is pretty close to CPU. Zalman: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118223 Thermaltake: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...9&body=REVIEWS |

Get the Zalman. The Thermaltake Orbs are rubbish.

Agreed. Between those two, I would get the Zalman.
Are you just looking for a new cpu heatsink, or are you looking for something that will let you overclock the processor?

I plan on maybe overclocking an AM2 2.5 GHz. Should I look for a better fan/heatsink for overclocking?

The Zalman should be fine, unless you try to really push the processor and start to see the temps climb.

If you're going to overclock I'd look at something from Thermalright. They have a history of making some of the best heatsinks for overclockers.
