Standard personally .
Not sure what fans with R6 though ...

OCUK doesn't stock pure wings anymore. I may just go for the bequiet cooler

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 20:22

Silent loop 360 ? Pretty solid, again it's the Eisbaer but 30mm thick, longer hose and Pure Wings

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 20:27

ok. Thanks for your help with this. Looks like I will do the silent loop.

Thermal Grizzlie paste ! £5 know your getting Delid but best paste to use between the chip and the cooler

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 20:31

is the termal paste ok with the bequiet cooler?

lol was just asking about the paste. Do I have to spread Thermal Grizzly or is pea dot method OK?

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 20:40

I did a bigger pea shape and contact seemed fine !

Heads up, use masking tape to secure that coolers backplate when installing

does it not stay connected very well?

HOw about decent paste like the paste you get with noctua coolers (NH-1) I think it is.

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 21:19

also what would you get the Eisbaer, Eisbaer LT or silent loop?

orbitalwalsh · 22 Apr 2018 at 21:27

LT for price if in stock, then silent loop, which happens to be on sale .
Nah, backplate just needs holding whilst your mount pump so easier to take it for extra support when installing

greenbrucelee · 22 Apr 2018 at 21:43

OK Thanks very much for your help it is appreciated. Once I get my redundo I will be ordering.

someone mentioned Phanteks PH-F120MP to me today and they seem slightly better than the pure wings in terms of static pressure. Do you have any experience with them?

orbitalwalsh · 23 Apr 2018 at 22:25

Good fans , worth it for high fpi rads

greenbrucelee · 23 Apr 2018 at 22:36

So they would be good on the Alphacool?

greenbrucelee · 23 Apr 2018 at 22:42

Have meant to say and dont know if it makes a difference my rad will be front mounted with the fans pulling the air through it.

orbitalwalsh · 24 Apr 2018 at 05:15

Alohacool has low fin per inch so not really about static pressure but sir flow amount . And fans in pull config need even less static pressure

So should i stick with the pure wings 2 or something else?
