Im looking to get one but stuck cheaper is better for the budget. :)
 
They use different fans with different ratings: noise, Airflow, Speed...

Just after a quick look through the stats, i'd go for the top one. :)

But it depends whether you want a super quiet cooler or a super effective one. i think the top one is the mid point.
 
The Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme is the best... and also the cheapest.

The Silver Arrow SB-E SE does not have the TY-143 red/orange fans.
It has black/white TY-145 fans with same blade design as TY-141.
Same colour as TY-147 fans but different blade design.

The Silver Arrow SB-E with combination of TY-150 and TY-141 fans has 158cfm compared to Silver Arrow SB-E SE with 148cfm but I seriously doubt temps are any different.. definitely not more than 1c difference.

Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme with the TY-143 130cfm/2500rpm fans at full speed will cool 5-8c better (5-7c better than H100) at same noise level as H100... actually 1dBA louder.

All 3 SA SB-E's sound the same below 1300rpm... and are virtually silent below 700rpm...

Here are sound clips at 1300rpm and 700rpm

I'm running TY-143 fans on my 14TC as well as my SA SB-E Extreme and TY-140 case fans. ;)
 
I suggest you practice installing the fans on cooler BEFORE you install cooler in case. And leave the fan clips on the cooler when you install it. Just remove the fans.. may be able to install with front fan in place.

Also a good idea to practice installing the cooler before you remove the protective cover on it. This way you figure out what may be problematic before hand so TIM ends up just where you want it. ;)

Please post up your impressions after you get it installed.
