can't decide what CPU cooler to get

[unozero]

so I have all the parts for my new build now except for a new CPu cooler


my new cpu is a AMD9950 which I plan to OC 3.0Ghz per core (from 2.6)
just upping the multiplier!


it either this one from Thermaltake


or the Zalman 9700


my case is a Antec 900 btw so will the Zalman one even fit??

my friend has a tuniq tower 120 in his antec 900. it barely touches the side of the case. i believe its about the same size as the tuniq though.

Of the 2 you list, I would advise the Zalman 9700. It is a great cooler.

I have also read good things about the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
