Hai, iam using sempron 2800+ socket 754 with MSI K8N Neo3, Icute casing and enermax PSU. becoz my local area here does not sell such stuff so want to ask someone opinion regarding of those two giant coolers. Which one is better in terms of cooling the CPU, if a same and normal fan applied on both cooler...

I'd go with the HR-01
Tower coolers are the new "in" thing
Isn't it quite a bit more expensive too?

btw, its CPU, not PCU

Oh, sorry for the typo errors... Anyway, how much is the retail price for the XP-90? so far i knew there is a thread
which sells the HR-01 @ RM 200, with duct fan + RM 30... but the duct fan seems work inefficiency.. so how do you think of it?

why not get a noctua 120?

If you plan to get Noctua,i suggest go for Scythe Ninja,god of air cooler.
You can get them in bulk order section if there's bulk going on for in or in OP.

hm, instead of noctua U12 eh? just read the review, http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=503&p=4 HR01 is barely win over the noctua U12.

I'll go either for the Noctua U12 or Sycthe Ninja

oh well, i have read of some of the review and learnt that Sycthe Ninja is better than those... sad that none of the seller is going to bulk of it...

i think allnGp is selling his Sycthe ninja....

give him a PM

allngap's Ninja already sold to my pren lol

i'll be bringing a new batch of ninjas in April if you are interested.

sure, i will order from you but need to raise some fund again as i just ordered a 7600gt from moderno... anyway, wait for my news...

@kulus,

that was fast...... its a good bargain too.. i guess..

why not go for xp/si 120 instead?

doesn't the ninja outperform the XP/Si120?

ya i think ninja outperform them....but for all around heatsink still si-120 lo...coz the wind is blowing down it can cool the mobo as well

actually from my experience, if you're going for a silent setup the air being blown through the heatsink is very very weak
that's why i didnt bother after trying out the xp-120
but if you're going for a powerful fan then that's a different story

well i still believe xp/si 120 is a good choice since the compatibility and the size + performance with avg fans. although it cant perform well as a passive, but comparing the size with the ninja its clearly seen who's the winner already. however, si 120 dont have compatibility issues, fits in most casing too..

but going for high speed fan is another story, there are better options out there. going for passive is another option too, but for overclocking? if you really wanted a silent but powerful setup, get watercooling instead. B)

from the original 2 options, i wud recommend xp90 since i'm not fond of passive cooling. scythe ninja does kick other HSF's butt(if u kno wat i mean) but the weight n size of it, i definitely kenot tahan ar. thus, living happily ever after wif my Si-120. kudos tu DaEMoNteNTAcLe for his recommendation, dat is. or mebbe it was another guy?? 4got liao.

how much price for xp90 now.izzit below rm 150 ?

what do you mean by you cant tahan the weight and size? are you holding it all the day? just let it sit in the casing and leave it alone lah...

It Rm110 for a new 1. Guess it very good chooise. Wise performence..at a price that everyone can afford.

I don think XP90 is tat low. Probably around rm140. Or perhaps i'm outdated with its' pricing

Well I don't think it's RM140 , not so expensive the last i remember

get scythe infinity ..

Again i'm here voting for Thermalright...

Go Thermalright!!!

scythe product is the best !!!!!!

Thermalright got my vote here, most of scythe's products are overpriced though.

Not particularly, IINM, Thermalright and Scythe Products are both overpriced, to me...
