this cooler can be worth it if the price is considerably low...

Offcourse they do, all those thermaltake, arctic cooling, thermalright and other brands also have their own engineers, then only thing that differs them is how good their engineers are, and for me, the best is still thermalright...

i think this cooler kinda good for normal user since the fan can really pushes good cfm at 2k rpm.well it cant possibly beat those high end cooler but for newbies.its shud fits the bills for its performance.

well if they made this a 120mm fan version, it will perform onm par with some of the high end coolers...

I guess the noise won't be too audible if your casing in not placed on the table, if it's on the floor, I guess you can heardly hear the noise, I like the fan design, looks pretty and it does get the job done based on the benchmarks. Not too bad, only if the price is reasonable.

if place on the table less dust accumulates, but on the floor more dust is coming in ur case... so have to decide lor, less noise or less dust... for me less dust is the way, cause i'm so lazy cleaning up my case frequently...

Yeah, less dust is the way...
Why?

Think, if the dust accumulated in you're pc, and when the dust turn as a pile, there's some possibility that it will be an electric conductor, [because accumulated dust will turn to carbon ] then, it will be dangerous...

My brother is an electrical engineer, and he's the one who told me this...

bro shawty , the dust willt ake along time to turn to carbon lah.. will take at least years and requires extreme pressure, and also a huge amount of dust... lol unless u will let ur case be a dust magnet and let dust build up untill ur entire casing full then u shouldnt be a enthusaist or even a pc user,.... bro sshawtythat wasnt aimed at u, its a gereneral staement, lol..no offence ok...

wahh never thought bout that, onli thinking bout cleaning it.... so lazy

ya, it is not easy to accumulate dust till become carbon.. but dust do increase temp on your heatsink. hehe.

yeah thats wat i meant...coz unless ur blind and dun notice a mountain of dust, then u will never get dust till be come carbon..near to impossible..

that's why i'm lazy to clean my case... i know if place it on the floor dust will faster & will become hotter...

cleaning your computer not really that tedious.. just get a vacuum cleaner that have blow function.. every few weeks, just blow your computer... all the dust will fly out

easy

Yeah, a powerful vacuum cleaner will get the job done, IMHO, more ventilation vents and casing fans, means more dust inside.

guys becarefull with big vacumm cleaners..they create alot of static shock and can kill. i have personally killed accidentally a 8800gts , my friends when i was helping him... lucking still can rma...if not i got a 2k rm paperweight...

eehhh, u were cleaning the case or the vga?

get a ok ok size vacumm will do the job... because too powerful vacum will break your caps later... haha

if the "ok ok size vacuum", will it create static like the big ones?

i dont know about that as i dont know much about static.. so far, been cleaning my computer monthly since 3 years ago. never face any problem at all..

usually a hand held vacumme(the extra small ones) will not crate much static... newya i was cleaning the whole case... and the static kille dthe rams and the gpu, ram just confirm die today.....lol.... lucky all can rma...if not got alot of expensive dead toys...maybe i make a blibg bling necklace with the rams and the 88gtx..lol..
