A Good Air Cooler

[g4m3rof1337]

What's a good air cooler, that can be somewhat comparable to my watercooling setup.. Or something that is Quad friendly.






Thanks.

i don't get what u mean dude are you trying to find a fan set up that would be comparable to Watercooling

 

[g4m3rof1337]

Was I misleading?

I'm looking for something that can compete with my watercooling setup, or something that works best on Quad processors..

Coolermaster V8 I think gets the best results of the currently available HSF.Its why I bought mine.

I know it might be played out and everything, but the zalman 9700 is a really great cooler. But i'm sure you have looked into it already.

a true or a scythe mugen 2 or a true copper.
v8 and v10 are nice but are more looks then performance.

Check out the coolermaster V10, it's a beast.

yea but it also creates extra heat because of the tec. so the heat inside your case will actually be higher...

Oh well, I'm sure his HAF has enough fans to take care of that .

still, only gives 2 or 3 degrees lower. And the tec also uses a lot of power. To many downsides for me.

Yeah, I wouldn't get it either, but he wanted the best of the best that can compete with a water cooling setup.

There's really no air cooler that compares to a good water cooling system but, very near contestants would be Tuniq Tower, Zalman 9700, Thermalright 120, CM V8 or V10.

 

[just a noob]

the true 120, or scythe mugen 2(they're both within a couple degrees of each other) would both probably preform close to equal compared to the thermaltake water kit

 

[g4m3rof1337]

I'll look around at the ones mentioned.

I'm liking the V8, do you think it would fit in a CM Stacker?

And is the mounting bracket easy to install? I'm use to the pins, and the WB was easy, so I assume it's the same?



Thanks.

Hey I'm getting to it...damn your like my girlfriend always rushing me


I am a fan of the Xigmatek S1283 for my Q6600 @ 3.2ghz 1.35v I am 30c on the hottest core idle and 50c load.

In a 85F room I am 36c idle and 60c highload. Which is a pretty warm room.


If you buy the "Dark Knight" version it comes with a "crossbow" attachment with it vs having to buy it separate with the normal version.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

I'm leaning towards the V8 still.

+1, S1283 dark knight is the best cooler for the money imo, it beats out the V8(according to frostytech) and its half the price.
