Anyway, the sycthe Ninja aint that bad either from the reviews i have seen thus far...

If you are asking for performance/price ratio wise, i would say its either TTBTVX or the Noctua. I have personally research for a while now between the Noctua and TR. TR coolers are great performers, at least in my point of view. They are great but also come at a hefty price tag.Not to mention you will need to get a fan for it as well as maybe some adapters if you have trouble fixing it to your mobo..

In Enzotech, reviews has shown that it is a good cooler, beating Noctua and TR as well. The problem is, no one is selling it here in Malaysia.There was once a bulk but too bad, after calculation and stuff, it might cost up to RM300+ which caused it to become an unreasonable purchase. If i were you, TTBTVX should be the one to purchase for coming at a low price but performing up to those big guns. Else, Noctua is also a very very good HSF as well...Silent and reasonably priced in a package..

Thinking of replacing my current HSF when my salary arrives. Anyone have any recommendation for a HSF below RM200 and performs well?

I do not want any from TR, Noctua and the TTBTVX though cause they seem to be the common recommendation..lol..Looking for something like the UltraX or something that performs well. Any idea?

Well, first of all, i kinda like TR products. But to be honest, they are really highly priced. Yea, they perform well thats why they are expensive but i am no hardcore overclocker. Besides that, they are always very troublesome on K8 socket board. Need to buy additional adapter and fans as well.. Too expensive to be taken into account..

I have seen the Ultra 120 Extreme but i wana check and try out other cheaper ones that performs maybe as well as the Extreme..

Yea. The UltraX is really overpriced which makes me make a step back always. I have been looking at the SS NT06 as well but some have said its not working as good as it seems..GeminII is really high on my list now. Wondering how good it is if i am using 2 FM121 on it..lol...

Some review of the UtraX is saying that it is good though which makes me interested but really too bad its expensive.Will look into the GeminII but i am worried i will have clearance problem especially with my Dominator fan around..Gosh..Have the Zalman 9700NT in my list as well though..

Yea, i saw the Tuniq and quite interested IF its including tax as well.Will keep an eye on that ..

How about the ThermalTake V1?Anyone know how good it is?I saw that on windwithme review and it does look good...lol..

LOL..I dont wanna dump the Dominator Fan. It looks nice for me. GeminII seems really nice to me and I really thought of getting the FM121 to pair with the GeminII..

Noctua is in my list but i am looking for some other ones though. Keeping my choices open so that i could get something that is better than that..LOL..

For once, i did look at Asus Silent Knight but gosh, they are heavily over-priced and yet doesnt perform anywhere near those good cooler..So, i gave up..lol..

Currently, i have these few in mind :

Noctua NH-U12F
Zalman CNPS9700NT
Thermalright Ultra120
Tuniq Tower 120 (Dont really like the design)
Enzotech UltraX
Silverstone NT06..

Will make a decision when i get off my Fatal1ty first..lol..

Yea, i really love to give the UltraX a try but too bad..Too expensive. I know Tuniq Tower performs but I am not sure why i really dont like the design of it. Looking at the bulk section, the price its going is really tempting. Thats why i have it in the list..lol...Wondering what it could do if i couple it together with my FM121...

Well, casing space shouldnt be any problem with my LL for now..The only thing i am concern about is blockage to other slots and especially towards my ram and dominator cooler..Every thing must fit nicely in order for me to get it..

LOL..So many problems with tower heatsink..

Anyway, thanks for the recommendation here guys. Have a long thought and just decided to make up my mind. I will halt this CPU Cooler upgrade for another month as i really wanna go heads up on a new 8800GTS for the moment..Aiks..Hopefully by that time, there is still some good deal on the Tuniq which is really interesting..

There is a MaxOrb review at PCmodding as well.Check it out there. Seems promising with 6 heatpipes..

Looks so much like the Ultra120. Seems to be a great cooler and not to mention, for the first time its going to be coupled with a fan..

Well, my cousin just got the TR HR01 for his system, ditching the CNPS9500 away for now..LOL...And to my wonder, it performs so well in his Opteron. His Opteron 165 at stock is idling at a great 31c only which is previously about 38-39c at his Zalman..

Dont be fooled by the white fan, they are just some normal fans painted in white color..LOL...

Wahha..Dont ask me. Its not my PC. Anyway, white seems good with me.Give me the Silverstone feel..LOL..Not sure about Load though but on IDLE, its 31c on the TR with Push Pull configuration and 38c on Zalman CNPS 9500. Load on Zalman would reach around 45 - 48c at times. Unknown and untested on the TR...

Its the SS TJ06. At the bottom, the casing are supplied with metal feets..

LOL..Is it even practical in use for normal PC..

LOL..25cm fan are normally installed on casing's side panel. Maybe they try to utilize that feature instead..

Wahh....Is that even useful?Gila...lol..

LOL..After you get that HSF, mount like 10 - 20 12cm fan there and wahlah..no need additional HSF anyone. THe one and for all...
