What CPU Cooler?

[sellw88]

Hello All,
Firstly a bit of background info!

I have just sent back for a refund - an Antec Kuhler H2o 620 (will be receiving back around the 45 mark).

In the mean time i am running a Coolermaster Hyper 212+.

I was after some advice as to what to do. Options are:

Stick with the Hyper 212+
Find a similarily priced cooler
Spend out the ~£75 for an Antec 920
Spend out up to the ~£75 on an air cooler

Been looking around at different coolers, quiet like the look of the Prolimatech Genesis!!! Also: Phanteks PH-TC14CS , Zero Infinity Free Flow+ and Zero Infinity Phantom Knight.

Only problem i can see with some of these is the weight! i travel to several lan events over the year so i dont want to go snapping the mobo in transit!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Just to throw the idea out there, im also wondering if it is worth sticking with the Hyper 212+ and getting myself an SSD?!? (Only Sata-II though)

Many Thanks!

If you are travelling to events, i wouldn't get a big cooler, either stick with the 212+, which is still more than capable or get a simular H60.

An SSD would be a great idea. Only SATAII, this is perfect: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-003-SD&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=1427

you can get a product called ninja wire to support a large cooler. It works like guy ropes on a tent to stop it moving round in transit.

seen it on fleabay but i'm sure OCUK will have something similar
