Hi guys,

I was hoping you would help me decide between the budget Gelid Tranquillo and the silver arrow for my upcoming 2500K build inside a Fractal Design R3 midi case.

I'll be looking to get as much out of my CPU as possible for when BF3 is released, so my question is basically is there a good chance that the tranquillo will be able to handle the 4.6-4.8 I'd be hoping to get out of the i5?

If not I'm going to be in the tricky position of having to wait about a month for the silver arrow to arrive as it's out of stock everywhere I can see. I'd have to run the poor 2500k with an arctic cooling freezer 7 that I currently have which will probably make the chip very sad..

I don't really want to stretch to the cost of a NH-D14
 
IMO go for the middle option and splash out on an akasa venom, in-between both in price and performance and would almost certainly handle your CPU at them speeds a lot better than the gelid
