best air cooler?

Is that review fairly old?

The Noctua NH-U12P isn't on there and it's one of the best performers, and easily the quietest.

Anywho, if you're buying from here, then the TRUE, or NH-U12P will do you well :)

The Noctua took over 20C off compared to my low-end water!
 
Well the No1 cooler was reviewed on 30th April - so pretty up to date, there are new reviews every day on that site and *** "top 5" lists updated as and when the coolers deserve to be included.

All their tests are, IIRC, on the same set up and perameters giving good like for like comparisons

:)
 
i have the extreme and i am currently running my e2180 at 3.4 with 1.51 volts through it and the temps rarely reach 60 dehrees on each core.

better yet, it is possible to put 2 fans on it if you can find the clips from somewhere :-)
 
OMG.

I've already decided on a Cpu cooler and now I find this thread that shows many many more Cpu coolers.
I'm not sure what I want/need now.

1. What is the TRUE cooler? is this actually the Thermaright Ultra Extreme 120 Yeah?. Because thats the one I have or had decided on.
2. FrostyTech says the stock core 2 duo cooler is very quiet. Which IS what I want. The quieter the better. Although I'm assuming the cooling is not so good...
3. Why has the older Thermalright got a better percentage rating?! :confused:

EDIT:
4. I've been reading up on the FrostyTech site, and I really like the Scythe Infinity for its super cooling and super low noise.

EDIT 2:
5. As I read on, I have found that the quietest/best coolers on F/Tech are the
* Tuniq Tower
* TRUE ;)
* Scythe Infinity
* Noctua NH-U12P
* Scythe Zipang

The stock C2D cooler is NOT quiet at all. I'm not really sure what they're smoking there.
 
Never seen a stock good cooler, remember all there selling really is the CPU.

Maybe buy one of the Thermaright jobbies then stick a different fan on it, dont really know about the fans, if someone can spread some light.

hi

is there an better cooler than the one i have now (Akasa AK-922 EVO Blue)? or is this one about the as best for air cooling?

also i've been looking at the Swiftech H2O 120 Compact Kit watercooler do u guys recommand it? i don't wanna go with water cooling but if theres no better air coolers then i may have too..
 
the problem is i have the XClio A380Plus case and i think the tuniq tower 120 would touch the 36cm fan on the side. is the hight the same as the Akasa AK-922 EVO Blue?
