Silver Arrow wait or not ?

Been waiting for a Silver Arrow on Backorder since i installed my upgrade in october.... Still no definitive answer from OC regarding when this stock will be replenished...

Now they have reduced the Noctua NH-D14 Cooler...

... should I cut my losses and pay the extra to get the Noctua ??

Anyone know if there is much of a difference in performance ?? Planning on O/C from current 4.0ghz on stock to 4.6ghz with a decent cooler...

Yip I've seen SA on other sites but I've already paid for the SA on oc site as it was billed with all my other gear I ordered.. I've dropped them a web note asking to switch to the noctua.. I'll pay the difference and hopefully get it early next week..

I dithered on waiting back in Sept, and then opted for the Noctua. don't regret it one bit, especially as the SA still not available.

What kind of temps are u getting at 4.4ghz with your noctua then??

Yeah looking at the stats not much in them.. Just think the silver arrow looks a bit nicer than the noctua..

Out of the 2 I'd say the silver arrow looks more appealing to me...both monster coolers but everyone has their own opinions..

Stock in today

FFS your kidding me ??? I asked OC on Wed last week and they said they didn't know and I swapped my order for the Noctua NH-D14 on Friday....ARGHHH I knew something like that would happen... >.<

Only got the Noctua delivered last night and fitted last night too >.<...

...

Cant complain about the performance... already notice a 20 degree C drop compared to stock cooler at 4ghz while running prime 95 and IBT to test it
