Titan Fenrir VS ThermoLab Baram

AaronS · 5 Apr 2010 at 19:25

Just wondering what people would go with, they both have amazing reviews..

They are both the same price.

The Titan Fenrir comes with a fan, (don't know if you can add more)

The ThermoLam Baram doesn't come with any fans, but you can put 2 fans on.

Also.. do you need a fan to use the Baram? It's a hard choice for me, for a i7 920

I would go with the Titan Fenrir personally.

I think they have very similar performance. In this comparison the BARAM looks slightly better and slightly quieter.

Baram is ridiculously hard to install without a second set of hands!

No it's not. The initial samples did have problems but they fixed that ages ago.

It's really no different to other coolers when it comes to installation.

I would take the Titan Fenir, Gives good cooling performance.

+1 for the Titan from me. I don't own one myself but I know some who are very happy with theirs

From experience, the Thermolab Baram was as good as the Prolimatech Megahalem but I haven't used a Titan Fenrir to compare.

From reviews ive seen Thermolab Baram is an extremely good cooler and in one review it was close to being the best.

i guess we can only give advice on our own experiences . my first i7 cooler was an akasa nero ( now in the bin ) temps were 70+ at stock settings .i now have Prolimatech Megahalem stock never goes above 50 deg underload prime 95. overclock @ 3.6 58 deg prime 95 overclock @ 4ghz 63 deg .this is with dual Amber Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan.

so the Prolimatech Megahalem is in my experience a brilliant cooling system for i7,

it also has 1 off the best bolt through fittings ive ever seen

off the 2 you are thinking off purchasing i would go with the ThermoLab Baram . i just prefer the fittings.

Thanks went with the titan as it seems to be a popular one for really good cooling, overclocking, etc.. then I don't have to worry about other fans ontop, no doubt the other is good too though

Even I managed it, can't be that hard

The Baram is a beast of a heatsink. It can passively cool my Phenom X2 955, although I've not tried priming it without a fan! :eek:

Ah man. I have a Baram which I have never got round to fitting and a Phenom X2 550. Might have to try that.
