fan suggestion?

TrustAlex · 8 May 2015 at 23:49

hello!

Im looking a the I5 & Z97X bundle and its tickling my fancy for my upgrade from my amd build thats sluggish.

Im wanting to overclock it and im more set on a normal fan rather than water cooling. Ive seen that people seem to be going for the Be Quiet! Pure Rock in these situations but is it worth spending that little bit more on the Shadow Rock 2 or even the Dark Rock?

Is there much difference in the performance? or just save my money and go with the pure rock?

cheers

Hi,

What case do you have? RAM? and budget?

What sort of overclock were you after?

At the moment ive got a Corsair Carbide 200R. Still toying with the idea of getting a new one though. RAM I was going to buy the Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB (2x4GB). Budget though i wanted to keep the mobo, processor, ram & cooler under 400. Overclock wise i was wanting to get as much as i can without having to water cool for the simpe fact I worry too much about leaking

And of course the HyperX Savage 2400Mhz will also work fine.
