hi guys. looked thru several pages here but cant seem to find out what is the best or relatively really good low profile cooler for a quad core or specifically, i5 750. casing that i use is a sg04. kinda like mini midtower casing.
the one in frostytech r for 775 socket.

well...thats what you get mar when you pass lesser liao

ohya, didnt read ur post properly yesterday.... the fan noise normally is depending on cfm rating and size of the fan.....if the cfm is just around 30 like that for a 92mm fan, then it shud be quite silent....

otherwise, u can just look at the dba rating of the fan but that one sometimes not accurate though....


u know the drill

pics or gtfo


erm...i nvr really follow up on what cooler is the best for i5 and i7....

but from what i remember, a forummer named metsatsu is using ultima-90 for a quad core last time and its result is quite good....

I got 2 Pentium Ds, jet sounds PCs. I think I'll TX3 first. if I cant accept the sound of the fan. I move up budget to buy a more silent ones.

After all these thing, It makes me want to built a silent PC for my next PC.

dont worry la

most of the time hsf nowadays comes with a silent fan....

and the fans will be automatically controlled to rev up and down according to cpu load....

most of the time fans will be low speed (silent) if ur cpu is idle

looks like AMD user not many in this thread
might be because of clearance between proc and ram?
most of the afermarket coolers block the ram slot

which one to get.. tuniq propeller or xigmatek thors hammer(include 2 fan)

IF i can get those at same price ..please advice..

why not add some money and get a Mega Shadow? It is so damn sexy

if u sponsor me to have it, i love too..

why u give recommendation outside from what I ask?

i'll get thorhammer for tower type, reason > 2 fans setup usually better than 1.

it's a pity that thorhammer can't be in east-west config w/ d stock clip for amd, else it'd be perfect.

off topic:

hyper 212 plus @ 2 fans not bad oso...

how about core contact freezer with 2 fan

ccf has no hook for 2nd fan unless u cable tied it. not so sure but should do pretty well too.

And not to mentioned CCF curvature eliminates the ability to use another fan 'properly'

there are AMD user's in here...the reason we keep quiet is because our PC is Cool n Quiet...

Wow.. That's quite cheesy..

Anyway, was wondering if sound insulation will cause a heat build up in the casing? (i.e. stick some of those sound dampening foams at the side panel etc)

ccf? bleh plak dual fan

btw ah_khoo.. i'm fall in love with the design...

until now can't see any propeller review.. so wonder how it perform..better than dual fan thor hammer or not...

if u said dual is always better, than i go for it lor..

i'm not necessarily right sis, but thorhammer sure has killer look. it's sellin @ near price of a true black, barely touchable by poor ppl like me...

guess i need to wait for propeller review first..

hello..is there any "right way" to install those casing cooler??like where those the air blow direction, in/out...sry if i ask a noob question...

direction of air being suck into the cooler should be from a fresh source....not from below such as above the graphics card slot....Exhausted air should flow towards fans that are pushing air out from the case...

that's the basic of FIFO design for cpu cooler.
cool airs come in from outside of the case, went thru the heated fins, and gone thru the exhaust blow holes with the help of rear fan.

so exhaust fan is blow out the air?so in my case(CM690) where should i put an exhaust fan, im using 6 fan now..AND I THINK I PUT IT WRONG DIRECTION OF AIR, i put all blow in the case...
