i7 retail cooler

[Ashfield]

Hi

Are these any good or is it worth going for say a Tuniq tower (does it fit?).

Basically want the PC as quiet as possible, may do a bit of overclocking but nothing major.

Cheers,
Ash

The one with the I7-965 is very good. Almost silent, Blue LED & looks good. But its not the same as the ones supplied with the 920 & 940.

thanks mate,

Its the 920 id be going for. What do you think would be best? Not bothered about looks as the case side will be on, its more for cooling/noise

Socket 1366 versions of the major 3rd party coolers will start appearing in the next few weeks.

I would almost certainly use the stock cooler for an evaluation period, take some notes of the temps etc then slap on some Meaty-Mc-Jaffus 3rd party heatsink and revel in the new super low temps!

It's fair enough installing a 3rd party heatsink straight away but you will never now how much of an improvement the new sink is compared to the freebie stock cooler!

Makes sense to me anyway!
