| 777859 | 2009-05-29 08:39:00 | Yeah, it will fit. The fins are elevated. @ blam6: some shops bundle it with their choice of fan, but I prefer to pick one myself. |

| 777860 | 2009-05-29 13:12:00 | Hey i was looking at some of the reviews of various coolers and i came to these 3 - Asus Lion Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer OCZ Vendetta 2 Which one would be better off for me? |

| 777861 | 2009-05-29 13:58:00 | The Vendetta's good. Don't know anyone with the Asus Lion. And you'll be lucky to find a Sunbeam Core-Contact in NZ. I searched when I got my Quad. Eventually tossed up between getting a TRUE and a Xigmatek. Went with the Xigmatek - mainly because of price and performance OOTB (read a lot about TRUE's really hitting their straps once they were lapped - and I didn't want the hassle). With your E6600 - unless you're going to really push it to the limit - I'd think about the Xigmatek Dark Knight. The positives include: - HDT (heatpipe direct contact) - Comes with rear bracket included (stability and safety for your mobo - plus extra & even pressure helps with contact & temps) - Comes with a pretty good fan. Nowhere near the class of the noctuas etc - but then you're getting all of this for about $125. www.computerlounge.co.nz I bought the Xiggy S1283 + a separate bracket (because the DKs weren't available then) - and I am really happy. My Q6600 tends to throw out quite a bit of heat even with just a mild OC (3ghz) - but the Xiggy keeps it very, very cool. Or - if you don't mind spending a bit more - the Noctua NH-U12P. I have a friend with one. Very good on temps + very quiet. The Noctua fan is excellent. www.ascent.co.nz But if you're going to seriously push things - ATM according to the majority of the OC forums, there is no match (air) for a lapped TRUE. |

| 777862 | 2009-05-29 13:59:00 | I would say TRUE120, but if OCZ Vendetta 2 is cheaper, than OCZ it is. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 777863 | 2009-05-29 14:03:00 | Well lets just say i go for the noctua what kind of an OC would i be able to get? and at what temps? (rough estimation) Sorry for all these questions im pretty nub when it comes to these things |

| 777864 | 2009-05-29 23:24:00 | I had my e6600 at 3.6ghz on this www.trademe.co.nz and temps got no higher than 55. Now using water my mobo is still limiting me to 3.6ghz (the boards getting a bit hot even with the chipset water cooled) and temps are idle about room temp and no higher than 40ish except under intense cpu work like Orthos where il hit 55 again after about 10hours |
