£50 for a 2500k cooler

Goose · 23 Sep 2011 at 12:07

I started a spec me thread in the general hardware forum but it didn't get much love so i'm gonna have to do it piece by piece

I really wanted to get a Silver Arrow but they seem to have been out of stock everywhere for weeks with no sign of change. Instead i'm now looking at the Akasa Venom Voodoo since its in budget and should be fairly quiet.

I'm open to any and all suggestions if the Voodoo isn't worth the money.

Thanks.

Go for OcUK today only offer, i think it's a Corsair H80 water cooling kit without the fan.

Aye but with a decent fan we're still looking at £65ish.

I considered the Dark Rock Pro but the review at Overclock3d wasn't great with the mounting kit in particular being slated. Mounting coolers has always been my least favourite bit about building a rig so i want to avoid getting one that even the OC3d guy says is a PITA.

Yeah i'd read that which is why i've been so keen to get a Silver Arrow.
