Just heard from the OC guys and they do not have a the cpu cooler or the case I had ordered. They have offered me a Corsair H70 for a few extra quid as a replacement for the Prolimatech CPU cooler I wanted originally.

I was just wondering if I should say "yeah that's ok" or if I should pick another cooler.

As for the tower (Coolermaster CM-690 case). I am quite sad about this because it seemed like a really good tower for the money. Could anyone suggest a new tower for about the same price that would be just as good?

Need these few additions to complete my order :)

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hey, look at teh coolermaster storm scout, if you like it, good case and good value
Personally Id stick to air cooler and get something like the Noctua NH-U12P
 
Lol I didnt even realise it was a water cooler. Why would they recommend that when I originally wanted air cooling? :S. I would like to stick to air cooling as I don't really know anything about water cooling installation/maintenance wise.

Basically I ordered the bundle below but, the cooler is unavailable so i need to find something to replace it with. My dilemma is trying to find a new cpu cooler and a new case that will be compatible with all my other components with little or no extra cost/performance drop.


-Krypton Rampage Extreme Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.20GHz Overclocked Bundle
-HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
-OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G)
-Antec TruePower New Modular 650W Power Supply
-LG CH10LS20 10x BluRay-ROM / 16x DVD±RW Drive - Black (Retail)
-Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM 1yr Warranty (ST31500341AS)

Sorry or the wall of text :P

Thanks

Would the components I added fit in that tower?

It looks like the Noctua cooler is also out of stock. I also need to make sure OCUK has the Cooler in stock otherwise I would be no better off than I was before. :(

Thanks

the h70 is the best cooler you can get other than a full water cooling set up....its a closed loop so requires no maintenance you wouldnt need to touch it
 
sry missed it was out of stock, in that case get the storm and a titan fenrir, not quite as good but will still provide 95% of the cooling, offsets the slightly higher case cost too

Looks awesome!. Not sure it is in my price range though. The coolmaster I ordered was £51 :P. Wouldnt really be able to buy anything much above above £75.

start a thread asking that specific question....i think it would be fine but would hate to say for sure and its not......im 99.9% sure it will fit by a mile though as its a decent size quality case
