Which cooler?

Hi guys,

Guess I need to junk my Freezer 7 Pro as it wont work with Sandybridge.

So, what to replace it with? A Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 or a Freezer 13? Whats the difference?

Thanks!

I'd like to clock the SB to about 4.5Ghz I guess. I also don't wish to hear it when it isnt under load. I'm happy with my Freezer 7 Pro and was going to just get the Rev 2 but wondered what difference the 13 makes.

Using Corsair XMS3.

H50 is massive overkill really. Probably going to stick with the Freezer 7 Pro. Is it 4 pin PWM?

Whats the main difference between a 13 and a 7?

Which stops you fitting heatsinks wrong.. errr... how exactly? :confused:

Decision time. Narrowed it down to either the Gelid Tranquillo or the Akasa Venom NaithWraith has recommended.

The Tranquillo is cheaper and has the advantage of being almost silent. It is my preferred option.

What do you lot think? I'm keen to avoid something that blocks all the ram sockets on my chosen board (Probably the MSI P67-GD65).
