I got a Swiftech H20-220 Compact, it is starting to work out pretty nicely for me, it took almost 2 weeks for me to get to cool right, that being the thermal paste breaking in and the right mount for my radiator and running my tubes into of a side window fan. but now i can pump 1.6v to the qx9650 and never get close to 70c, it cost me 146$ from newegg shipped, which is the lowest price i found on the net.

HELP!!!!!93C!!!!!

it would really cool the thing off, say by about 30-40c, it is a really good cooler at high voltages

I wouldnt get it, i would spend the extra money only 20-30$ more for the Swiftech H20, way better product.

 

[iluvgillgill]

but that thing cost less then $19 or £10 depend where you live. AND better still you can always haggle with the chinese when doing your shopping! come on!you wont give it a play for that little money?

 

[steeda]

nope, not even worth it, come on, why waste your money on that when you could get a really good watercooler for 150 USD, which it would be cheaper for you, just save your money, I have a friend with a

on a qx6700 and it sucks balls, he cant even get the cpu to 1.5v without it breaking down/rebooting at 3.2ghz and he put my old tuniq tower on there and runs it at 3.7ghz all day now at 1.52v, tell me that tuniq tower is not a killer hsf. my swiftech is just awesome, i cant believe it and now that it is starting to perform it even better than expected. Just save your money and get the swiftech if not go buy a tuniq tower, best hsf out there except that thermal one that is 120 extreme, cant remember the name.

i still believe that no HSF can beat the TRUE in twin fan config.not even the HDT could touch it in a very high OC CPU.
