Thermolab BARAM

[PwnDirect]

Was just browsing away when I found this !

This is the new be all & end all of air coolers Its beating everything

Mostly down to its heatpipe layout & fin design.

Cheak out the reviews :

Frosty tech

legionhardware

Ive already tried it, my nephew bought one for his E8500 rig clocked at 4.2ghz, i borrowed it to compare to my TRUE black, my TRUE kept my quad ([email protected]) at 68-68-63-62, tried the baram, with the same fans from my TRUE, 72-74-69-69, Wouldnt reccomend it, all theese reveiws that include the TRUE, they never use a decent fan on it, ive had the arctic freezer, the noctua and the tuniq tower, probably ok for a dual core, but no use on a highly clocked quad

would make a nice passive cooler with that sort of fin spacing

Stick with the True.

Reviews never lap the TRUE - so it's usually sub-standard unless your IHS matches.

Also if you check the side you'll see the fin spacing is way to tight for a passive HS, Stick with a HR-01plus if you can find one.

At least partially because lapping a TRUE takes forever...

Although I would agree that its poor quality control, this is overclockers and therefore if you want to get the most out of your hardware you go the extra mile... I do believe however that they have solved for the most part the base problem with the TRUE and that Frosty Tech haven't retested since... Although to be fair they would probably but some numpty fan on it anyway
