Anything better than a Silver Arrow for the money?

Goose · 7 Oct 2013 at 16:35

Just wondering if anyone thinks there is a better cooler than the Silver Arrow for less than £60 and if so, what is it?

Thanks

Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler.

The Silver arrow is slightly better, as is the Phanteks TC14.

The performance differences are so minor that you're better off making your decision based on what fits and which one you like the look of most.

The Phanteks looks to be a tenner or so more expensive unless im looking at the wrong ones?

My Case is pretty huge and being windowless I dont care much for aesthetics.

They are. Bought specifically for using with a jumbo cooler (which i never got around to buying).

Pretty much what Uncle Petey said. Silver Arrow all the way and the white Vengeance kit is LP only I'm pretty sure.

Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme has TY-143 red/orange fans 130cfm/2500rpm £53.99

TY-143 fan

The SA SB-E Extreme with TY-143 fans will perform and sound the same as SA SB-E or SA SB-E SE below 1300rpm. Advantage is if you want more cooler and can put up with the added noise it's available. It is also the cheapest.

I have SA SB-E SE and SA SB-E Extreme. I also have PH-TC14PE and have ran TY-140, TY-143, TY-147, PH-F140TS and PH-F140HP fans. Up to 1200-1300rpm they are very similar is performance and sound.
