YOUR BASKET
1 x Prolimatech Armageddon CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011) £44.95
1 x Thermalright TY-147 140mm Case Fan - 120mm Mount - Silent £5.99
Total : £60.84 (includes shipping : £8.25).

YOUR BASKET
1 x Thermalright HR-02 Macho CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366) £39.98
1 x Thermalright True Spirit 140 CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £39.95
1 x Thermalright Macho 120 CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £29.99

Your ram will be safe with all of these.
You could stick with the H50 for a bit though and wait until you can get the clc you really want. The H50 isn't that bad is it?

Edit: I have to say, the Armageddon with a TY-147 looks like a cracking combo. Maybe not a huge leap in performance from a True Spirit 140, but lord, is it sexy...

I havent tested it yet as Im waiting for it from the guy i got the PC off, i mean it shouldnt be, but i wasn't convinced in the reviews,

I basically just want a good Cpu cooler that will let me push it at 3.9-4ghz preferably pretty cold,

Uncle Petey · 28 Feb 2013 at 19:54

Any of those can manage that and more mate

The H50 should be able to handle 4ghz quite easily too. The above selection would do it with less fan speed/noise though.

Gamble19 · 28 Feb 2013 at 20:19

Ill test the h50 and see what i get

thanks, i may go for the 140mm Thermalright one!!!

Wise man

Gamble19 · 28 Feb 2013 at 20:44

one more question, recommend any thermal paste??

Uncle Petey · 28 Feb 2013 at 20:55

Gelid GC extreme is pretty good and dropped 2c off the Arctic silver I was using, but OcUK don't sell it anymore.
Other than that, Arctic MX-4/MX-2, Prolimatech PK-1 etc.

There's not a lot in it tbh. Almost any will do the job within a couple of degrees of each other. Best not to obsess too much over it really

2c is totally worth it Peter!

As tesco say, every little helps.

Pk1 is a pretty good paste, yet to try out the liquid metal gunk i bought last week.

Are you on the Tesco payroll setter?

Gamble19 · 28 Feb 2013 at 21:52

another one... what to use for removing thermal paste...???

setter · 28 Feb 2013 at 21:53

Up until today i could have been close to joining tesco.

Started back to work again. Thank god, need cash for some shiny new pc kit.

To remove paste, isopropyl alcohol is the stuff. Or this.

Uncle Petey · 28 Feb 2013 at 22:17

Heh, alcohol/arcticlean is a more thorough way, but I just use a bit of kitchen roll

Oh, and as for the 2c... Yeah, I suppose it's pretty good considering it's just a blob of TIM.

joshcowin · 1 Mar 2013 at 18:27

i would reccomend the gelid extreme
