Hello, ----------------- The main computer specs are: INTEL PENTIUM 4 Processor 550 LGA775 3.4Ghz GIGABYTE GA-8IPE775 Pro Motherboard Socket 775 Intel 865PE+, ANTEC P160 Midi-Tower WINDOW -----------------
I am building a pc at this stage and I need to buy a CPU fan. At this stage it is out of the following: -CoolerMaster HYPER48 -Gigabyte 3D Rocket Cooler-Pro PCU22-VG -Gigabyte 3D Cooler PCU22-SE
Does anyone know or own any of the listed products, or has any ideas to make one product a better chose then the others?
I would like a cpu fan that is well made, has good cooling and has good weight support.

Really the best rated fan for the job is the one that comes with the Intel cpu chip.
I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid...

I am with setishock; for your first build, use the fan that came with the CPU. Substituting a fan is hit or miss, sometimes great, sometimes a dog.

Good point...the stock Intel hsf is one of the best for cooling. It's a little noisy compared to some of the 50 dollar plus offerings but most have no trouble living with it.
