Hi, I am stuck between these 2 CPU coolers, the Ninja looks better, but from the looks of it the Infinity does quite abit better performance but yet the Ninja is a newer model basically? So I am confused, which is the best choice :confused:, I will be using this on my Athlong 3700+ as well as the C2D setup in summer when I get it, my max overclock with the 3700+ with the stock cooler is 3.8ghz stable, you think these coolers should be able to boost that to 3ghz at least? Or like the guy below me, you think the 3700+ has just hit its limit since to get to 3ghz and even get into windows i need to apply 1.6V when at 2.8ghz its stable at 1.45V.

Ninja seems to get the better results and is a good deal lighter. :)

Up to you though as they're both great coolers.

You considered thermalright at all?

The HR-01 is an excellent quiet cooler and the SI-128, Ultra 120 and Ultra 120 Extreme are excellent high performance coolers too.

I would vote for the Ninja too, using one on my C2D setup (details in sig) and is performing very well.

You won't be disappointed, just make sure you get some decent thermal compound (i'm using Arctic Cooling MX-1).

For the price it is very good value for money.
 
Well atm I am concidering to buy the Scythe Mine, another shop I am ordering from dont have the Ninja or Infinity in so I have read the reviews on the Mine, seems good.

Were is the Ninja or Infinity in stock? OcUK dont have it, the other place I am looking dont have it in stock too :(


I found the Infinity for a good deal, I guess I'll get it :)

There's at least one ninja on MM at the moment.

Might be worth taking a look. :)

I was just gonna buy it, but due to my cards been a Visa Electron, certain thing happened were it cost more than I thought the PSU/GPU would be so I havent gone up to my budget of £380 but my parents took the postage costs of some stuff I sold out of my money so I cant afford a new cooler anymore :(, gonna wait a month, I guess my 3700+ has reached its limits anyway.
