Worth replacing Star Ice with Artic Freezer Pro?

[phresh]

I'm installing my PC in a new case at some point over the next fortnight and just wondered if anybody had any idea how the two of these perform head to head? I'm going to re-seat the heatsink anyway so it wouldn't be anymore hassle replacing it.

The main reason for replacing would be because the Artic Freezer is (I assume) quieter, although I could quite hapily bodge the star ice into something a little more noise friendly if required....

Cheers

I thought about it when I originally purchased the Star Ice, but to be honest I just prefer the idea of it directing air towards the rear vents than straight into the top of the case (will be using a HTPC case...). Plus from what i've read the Artic Freezer is pretty much the best air cooling you can get that isn't overly noisy, and lets be honest, is a steal at less than £20.

The one thing that does appeal to me about the Thermalrght is that I could use a rather silent 120mm fan, but not entirley sure if it's worth al the money purely for that...

I'd never heard of that Tuniq before but it looks pretty impressive. I like the integral fan design, although i'm unsure if that adds any real benefit other than looking a bit neater.

Has anyone got one of these?
