Ambient was about 22'C because of the heating being on way to high in this house.

Thats great must be a really great cooler.
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B CPU with a Scythe single fan.
Heat is not an issue with these CPU's.
I think you have made my mind up for me.

Thanks there i just been checking reviews and check what comes in the box fan clips and so on.
Glad i got 2 Vipers then. At least if the thermal difference is minimal i can run it push/pull at even slower speeds. Glad i went for that cooler

That's an excellent article and the Thermalright TY-140 sure is a good fan, which makes the Archon and Silver Arrow well worth considering... or even a Cogage Arrow with 2xTY-140s. They would be better than a Prolimatech Megahalem.
Cooler round-up in my sig.
Would those Thermalright TY-140's fit on a megahelims, im considering switching to a pair of 140mm fans on mine, and as PWM is a must theese sound pretty good, however the round design has me concerned a bit, currently running akasa vipers.

I'm pretty sure they use 120mm mount fittings.
From their blurb:
• 12 cm mounting hole–allows installation on the 12 cm dimension, so will be compatible with most coolers without having the need to buy extra kit for 14cm fan.
So setter u get a couple and test, and if they work on the mega, i may get for my VX lol.

It would be very interesting to compare the TY-140 with Akasa Viper and post the results as I would like to know which one is better. But I don't think the TY-140 will beat the Akasa Viper.
Yep, noticed that they have standard 120mm screw holes, though the megahelims clips secure to the fan frame, unlike previous thermalright clips which use the fan screw holes.
How are you finding the VX btw mate?
Would be interesting, i think that 140mm fans could deliver similair results for a lot less noise, the vipers are very good but loud above 1600 rpm. particularly on the super mega im using, much louder than my old TRUE black.

I tested 2xSWiF2-120P fans (1800 rpm) on the Silver Arrow and it was marginally better than the TY-140 fans but much louder.
