Or a Megahalems with 2 apaches? Which would you go for?

I haven't got one to test sadly

krooton · 6 Oct 2009 at 15:25

So the new TT is the best bet?

I could get it, see if the fan on low is acceptable, and switch it to a single Apache if needed?

Gah, deicsions decisions!

I can't find any reviews for the new TT online, what's the mounting system like?

Are you using 775 krooton?

Edit - I'm lookin at the Alpenfohn Brocken aswell I'm going to get a i5 system at christmas. Will there be more 1156 support then? Like brackets for current models (i.e. TuniqT)

I'll have a review by the end of the week. It uses exactly the same mounting system as the Nordwand funnily enough.

Just for clarity:

TT = £30 (or £40 if I change fan to an Apache)
Thermolab Baram + 2 Apaches = £53
Megahalems + 2 Apaches = £65

Now I am fairly sure that the Mega doesn't perform 50% better than the TT, so from a bang for buck perspective, TT is the best choice.

Yep, looking for some more heat headroom than my Fenrir gives.

The tuniq does seem very good for it's price. I imagine it will have 1156 brackets by christmas? haha

krooton · 6 Oct 2009 at 16:06

Oh well, just bought a TT, will let you know how I get on

I've just seen a review that put the new TT at just 2ºC better than the original TT, I hope they've got it wrong

Did it say what paste and fans they had - also what CPU?

It says it is 5 degrees cooler in prime atleast.

How does it compare to your fenrir?

Looking at the benchies.
