Thermaltake Big Typhoon

hi all,
i was wondering would it be worth upgrading my CPU cooler from a coolermaster hyper 6+ to a Big Typhoon my idle temps are 35-38 and my load temps are 45 but this is with an akasa amber 92mm fan spinning at 1800rpm that can rach 3600 but its connected to a fan controler so i never put it up that high, the temps stated abouve are all at 1800rpm, i have overclocked my CPU ( c sig ) and i want it to be silent more than anything

I could reccomend the Thermalright XP-120 myself, got the cooler installed now and it's the best heatsink i've had. It's quiet with a decent 120mm fan and it's providing excellent cooling It gives very similar performance to the Big Typhoon IIRC, but there's less hassle invloved if you want to swap fans to a different model.

what temps

Temps below 50 with that clock? wouldn't bother changing mate. Your no way near the danger zone. Akasa Ambers at 1800RPM are pretty quiet, the other parts such as your GFX and PSU are going to make more noise than that!

dont think so ive just fitted a VF-700 CU LED to my graphics and my PSU has a silent akasa fan rated at 18db

It's not going to break the motherboard. I move my pc around a lot. If the weight of it was a problem then it wouldnt of been made?

is it reali that much better? *** like 2oC? i think i will get the si-120 or the big typhoon....the ninja seems but big, too heavy and don't look good

get the big typhoon with two silent 120mm fans ontop
