Options

23-08-2009 6:30pm#1Well lads, i'm goin to go back to air now, just feel like a change and would like to try a nice big CPU cooler.
I have a Thermalright to be installed on my gfx for ages. They still top dog for cpu.
I'm gonna check things out now myself just thought i'd drop a line here first.
Also might try and throw together some kinda cube(ish) case, have a disc grinder and a mate with a welder ready to be use
lol.
Would like to try and use all recycled goods for the case ie. spend no money, you know to get into the spirit of the whole recession and all. LOL. What i mean is basically cutting up a pair of old cases just big enough to hold the mobo in one side and the rest goes in the other side.0

Srry lads, it's only an auld 775, e8400. Case dimensions don't matter it will be modded to suit appropriatly big ass Cooler. Will want it to be Overclocked currently on 4ghz with water.
I won't be doing SFF nessacarily (spl?). It will be made to suit my current components.
Asus rampage x48, hd 4870, relatively dated now i'm sure but more than enough for my requirments.
The tower still the big dog then, jays i havent missed much then

nah the TR ultra 120 extreme is slightly better with a decent fan imho. Im still really liking the scythe cooler i have on mine, no idea what its called, but l31mr0d has linked my work log above. It is an absolute bollocks to mount tho
yeah i think the currents dog's hydraulics are the Megahalem, BARAM, xigamatecs Thors Hammer and TRUE.
But if you have a gander you'll find a cheaper option that will cool at the same performance + 1 or 2 degrees for half the price.
Noctua are always good but that's mainly cause their fans are near silent with great performance0 -

Thermalright ifx14 seems to be top from that review mentioned, thoughts on that. I like to look of it too.
way too big and unecessary, also if i remember they used two fans on it cause thats the same as running push pull which does give better performance.
There's a pure copper edition of the TRUE that the nordic overclockers used and the temps were something like 6 degrees lower than the standard TRUE and a couple below the black one.
The one thing i'll say about the ifx14 is that it has gone down alot in price but I'd make sure it can fit in your case before buying it.0 -

3.ifx14 make sure it can fit in your case before buying it.
1 sounds good to me
2 yeah spotted that, scandalous price though
3 that won't be a problem. Case will be designed around what it needs to be.
I found an ifx for E50 but it's a version without the back piece.0 -

I suppose its go big or go home
Watch that cause you could warp your board which is not good, i'm sure you could get a bolt through kit on ebay on the cheap, if i had a spare one i'd give it you:)
Also check how many set of clips for fans come with it, there should be two but some sites only provide one. Please tell me you're going to get some obnoxiously large fans to go with that?0 -
