Recommend anything other than the Akasa Venom for a cheapish cooling solution for Q6600?

Flare · 27 Jan 2011 at 20:18

I've finally decided to OC my Q6600 G0 and have had the Akasa Venom recomended to me, he works for a competitor and does a lot of builds so knows what he is talking about and it has used it in many builds and got good results. My other though is the Megahalems but i can't justify spending that much when there are quite a few other things i need to buy.

I am pretty set on getting it but as it's the first cooler i have bought i just want to be sure, i'm sure you can all appreciate this

Thanks,

Flare.

titan fenir evo i would buy that instead

Loads of coolers in this price range, never used the cooler you are intending to get but do use the fans on my Super Mega, they certainly shift a lot of air.

I say buy it & get overclocking, don't forget to post your results

Thanks for the replies

I was also thinking about the Fenrir but i'm leaning towards the Akasa.

Good to know the fans on the Akasa are good! I will post my results, don't worry

Yea, the venom is a good option. If you can't justify spending megahalems money then it is one of the best coolers to go for.

Another good option is the Titan Fenrir,

i'd take the fenrir evo over an akasa venom

Fenrir is absolute beast for the money best mid range cooler bar none

what are peoples opinions on the bequiet darkrock advanced cooler? ive seen a lot of people raving about their psu's, how do their cpu coolers fair up?

What about the Coolermaster Hyper 212+?

It is supposed to be very good.

for the money it cannot be beaten but when you get to the £35 price bracket where the op is looking to buy the fenrir and the likes are better coolers.

i find that no reviews available is not usually a good sign.

So the general consensus is the new Fenrir, hmmmm...
