Battle of the elements...

A very kickazz article from TechReport detailing cooling performance for three coolers
which are considered to be at different ends of the scale with respect to price.

As for the article's title?  Well, its air vs water.

Kingwin's Revolution RVT-9225 HDT



Noctua NH-U12P



CoolIT Systems Domino ALC





Is it any coincidence that I decided to stay with Noctua for Core i7 goodness?
I can attest to its performance 'under fire' as it were.

just just just finished reading this article, the noc performed as expected wasn't even surprized had that cooler not been 70USD when i was buying mine boy...when hard sell that cooler for 200 the other day i feel it...i so vex right now i could punch myself in the balls.

well punching urself i the balls wont make the sale comeback so just LC everything then... or spend the $100 bucks for the cooling

*punches self in balls forever disabling the ability to procreate...prob for the best seeing as i just PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE BALLS*

wrt cooling i may dabble in water/liquid next, petra's has some decent starter kits*.



make a single loop, prob GPU, as air working so far for CPU cooling and my OCs

is them thar GPUs that heat up moar than whores in heat.

*not mass prefabs, kits they put together from various parts

Punch away dude. Reason i sold it was cuz the performance of my other cooler was much better than that. Shoulda take some screenshots and pics to prove my point yes.

Better than the NH-U12P?  Which cooler is that pray tell?
Let me know so I can haz one.
