UltraX? it cost more than rm300

for rm200 and not the brand u specified, can try CM GeminII. but once u see the product, u might get shocked lol. price rm150 without fan

rm255? are you sure? AFAIK, only lonewolf do bulk on it. cost rm325

@kmarc
i though u are refering to UltraX.

try Asus Artic Square
http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Sp...ArticleId=20515

compact yet perform good (based on benchmark la). just wondering if the fan can be replaced or not.

@kmarc
i think he meant the "deadspot". the middle of the fan where the motor are, doesn't push air. if close contact with heatsink, no air pushed in that area. if u distance a bit between fan and heatsink, some air will pass through there due to space available for air to disperse. might sound confusing cuz i'm bad in explaining stuff lol

that scythe shows that they wont lose to CM GeminII. i hope copycat Thermaltake come out with bigger one. size of turbocharger cooler...

btw, how to install that scythe HSF? cant even access ram or whatever on the board once installed. can uninstall after install? i doubt that too unless using screw system on backplate.

between TR Ultra 120 Extreme and Tuniq Tower, which is better buy. priced RM255+ and RM190+. that Extreme doesn't come with any fan if not mistaken

tuniq is good value buy since it comes with fan but problem is i already has a fan. i intend to get ultra120 extreme paired up with big typhoon VX's 9 blade fan(really blow).

both hsf unavailable at this time. one MOQ not met, another one hard to find stock....

should i just get the current king (ultra120Extreme) or a notch lower (tuniq)? both are very good.

what review? it's not even on sale yet. moreover, that heatsink is part of their casing set. i doubt it sell separately as it won't fit in normal case. and it's not very heavy too (the heatsink)

@westfind
can u just edit your previous post instead of multiple posts?

for the CM Orb, the only way it to change the cooler or use the yello/green slots

i heard that it's currently no stock everywhere, in malaysia. i'm thinking of selling off mine. too bad ultra120Extreme no stock either

try to overclock that proc. temp seem like performing at stock cooler.. how much your ambient temp?

Tuniq Tower will fit your budget. second best air cooler behind Ultra120Ext and comparable with Ultra120. btw, ultra120ext and ultra120 both tested using S-Flex fan which cost rm80+



if budget rm300, get ultra120+bracket+fan
if budget rm400, get ultra120ext+bracket+fan (i can only wish )
if budget rm200, get tuniq tower which included 9 blade high cfm fan.

@evilnickwong
urghh. i forgot ninja. actually it's right below tuniq but only if using SilenX which cost a bomb too. for rm10 different between ninja and tuniq, it's easy to make decision

saw that before. never see it compare with geminII though. totally pWn it lol. don't think it will fit in majority of casing. geminII size already on threshold of many casing

here's some picture:


*andy samurai box totally ghey lol

@kalakatu
geminII basically cover upper half (if ATX) of the mobo. northbridge, cpu, pwm, ram, etc all are covered. widest coverage lol

but prepared for high cfm fan (and noise) as it's more effective pushing air toward your mobo, that HSF raised quite high from mobo.

based on the picture, seem like it only cooled 9C better than stock cooler. suck for a big cooler like this

@afosz
might a bit inferior compare to ninja and VX. i only know Ultra120Xtm pWn so as its price lol

pair GeminII with silverstone FM122 fan. cost a lot but definitely high CFM and noise
