[wahjahka]

hello im stuck between these two coolers.
the tuniq tower and the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
im leaning towards the tuniq but the artic cooling freezer 7 pro is much cheaper,
can anyone help me make this decision?

i was looking at that, can you use another fan with that? also how is the Thermalright IFX-14 CPU Cooler?

why would you want to? exhaust fan + the fan attached to it is pretty much push/pull anyway...

seriously, are you that insane for an extra 1 C? and for the extra cost of the fan plus the extra base cost of the cooler??

i mean seriously!

thats a good point, i actually read a review on it last night and it said that in order to get the full potential out of it you need 3 120mm or 140mm fans, too much money for me.

+1 for the XIGMATEK S1283 (make sure you get the bolt in kit for this! And make sure your case has the space.).

^haha good advice shadow my 1283 doesnt fit in my case... just. the ends of the heatpipes that stick out the top also stick out the side... if they wren't there it would be a tight squeeze but at least the side panel would go on! oh well... dad reckons hes gonna drill out holes in the side for the heatpipes to stick out of but that's probably going to be 5 years from now so..

dust ftw?

I use a tuniq tower, top quality imo. Although if you have heatsinks around the cpu bay like me be prepared to scrape your knuckles. Just don't bleed on any capictors
