Freezer 64 Pro or Scythe Ninja?

As title, which is better. From what i've read I would guess the Ninja is better, but has anyone experienced both?

SiriusB · 8 May 2006 at 22:23

From what ive read on here and elsewhere is that out of the box the 64 Pro is the better cooler... but get the ninja with a good quality fan and it performs much better. Never seen any figures though so who knows lol

I know that I cant go wrong with either but i'm thinking about a serious overclock in a really well vented case. The Ninja's now come complete with a 120mm fan btw.

The ninja is the best out of those two. The 'Tuniq' is now considered the supreme daddy though.

From all the reviews ive seen, the ninja is much better

I went from Arctic 64 Pro to the Ninja.

Well, to cut a long story short, the room where I have setup my PC is the coolest in the house. Last week for example when it hit 25 deg outside the ambient temp in this room was only 17/18 deg.

I plan on using an Akasa Eclipse 62 case and then looking at some mods. Hoping to have at least 4 120mm fans.

Why not just buy a Thermaltake armour, and stick loads of big panaflo fans in it

You know it makes sense

Cos it look **** and probaly nowhere near as good as the 62. From what i've heard and read the 62 takes a lot of beating for the dough!

Have a google - the new scythe MINE is meant to be better than both the arctic and the other scythe

Opty 170 - at least 2.8ghz - might go water later, cant afford right now

It's better, the tuniq tower is alright, in fact the scythe mine looks nearly identical.

Freezer isn't as good as the others, I wish it was cos it's much cheaper.
