Right gonna get one today. But what's fans. I have got 2 spare cooler master sickle flows. But I was thinking maybe Akasa Apaches or Vipers. Another question, would you recommend push pull?

We have not tested it with 4 fans, you could be the test reviewer

Happy to do that

. Vipers or Apaches though?

What is the length of the tubing? I'm interested as my custom CPU setup went pop a few weeks ago and I had to fall back on my air cooler (a Megahalems so not too bad). I have a Corsair 800D case but the top rad mount is already used by a 360 rad for my GPU loop. So I need to mount this outside the case on the rear.

Am I right in saying that a higher static pressure will be better than all out CFM in this cooler's case?

Depends if you like big yellow fans.

That's going to be tricky isn't it? Seeing as this is a closed loop, how would you get the cables and cpu block into the case?

Went for the Apaches as according to the specs, the static pressure is better

???

Apaches:
Fan speed = 600 -1300 RPM
Max airflow = 57.53 CFM
Max static air pressure = 2.64 mm H2O
Noise level = 6.9 - 16.05 dB(A)

Vipers:
Fan speed = 600 -1900 RPM
Max airflow = 83.63 CFM
Max static air pressure = 2.98 mm H2O
Noise level = 6.9 - 28.9 dB(A)

This has made me want rid of my H70, this will fit perfectly in the top of my HAF912+

Sell you H70 and that will cover some of the costs

You test it with 4 x apaches and test it again with 4 x vipers and you could be the first proper review here, if you can afford to get 4 x apaches and 4 x vipers.

Oh dear, you will have upset RJKONEILL with that comment. Surely he did the first proper review?

I did not metion his name did I ? Nothing harm is it. My comment is not against Rjk. I talk about a proper review for apache and viper fans.

I'm just playing devil advocate

No, rich laughed when I showed him my post.

Results look good, but I can achieve the same if not better with a TRUE 120. Its interesting to see the radiator size grow and grow.. do we ever think they'll make one for gpu's as well?

For the record :

i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz 1.40 Volts temperatures

65
65
71
70

Hmmm if OCUK are willing to waive the cost of 4 vipers then I'll do a proper review!

You gave me a heart attack! I thought for one minute - oh palm my head, I was going to get banned from this forum ! You're a crafty Ace!

Phew!

ah, Ace was only kidding around!
I agree with bulldog, a proper test with some high performance fans would be good. but this cooler comes with nice fans already.

can never hurt to upgrade your upgrade!
