Spec Me: A new cooler

[Uncle Petey]

lol, I went take a pic and realised that I forgot that I had no fan installed on it
It's been running passively for the last couple of days after I took them out to see how they'd fit on the Alpenfohn VGA fan bracket...

Anyway, in the orientation shown in the pic I posted above, it'd be a no go.
However, if you turn it 90° and have the flat edges at top and bottom, there are no clearance issues

Its a cracking cooler. I bought one to replace the supermega i had. Saw a drop in temps of 8c on my old 4.2ghz i7 920, (77-69c max @100% load). Been through several fan setups on mine, the stock ones, x2 of the alpenfohn 120mm's, finally settled on 2x akasa piranha's.

It's a good 'un

Like I say, I run the one TY on there and the case exhaust does the rest.
Stock fans are fine, but when you can replace them both with just a single, superior fan that does just as good a job at only 1000rpm, it's a no-brainer - especially when it's only £5.99 for the privilege

On top of that, you still get to look at your fancy ram and show off the diamond cut thing on the fins

I think that's the one I'm going with, and since I've ordered it now, I've got no choice

Can't wait to get a TY-147 on it with that kind of performance.

Appreciate your help guys, I could have made a right royal mess and bought the CLC had I not come here first

Nice one. Hope it lives up to the hype
