All your questions are answered about IFX-14...AND Ultra120 Extreme HERE. QUOTE 1) IFX-14 Prologue
Yes, its that big, yes its that expensive.
I very much like the mounting mechanism. All screws 6-32 or M3.
2) IFX-14 Fan Configurations
Bigger fans = Better Performance.
More fans = Better Performance.
3) IFX-14, Stock vs. Lapped
Didn't do much, but damn nice pics.
4) IFX-14 vs Ultra 120X
Both awesome heatsinks, both very very close in performance.
IFX-14 will allow for better performance for ultra quiet setups because you can strap so many fans to it.
Ultra120X is much more compact, and cheaper. There's also a part where he recommended that if you preferred a single fan configuration, put it in the middle. Make sure it is the 38mm type as Ianho has suggested. This is what I'll be gunning for since I need the space behind the heatsink for my RAM fans...

I wonder if anyone tried Ultra Extreme VS IFX-14? Real life experience and not from the review sites because it says both are identical. I'm thinking of getting this very soon |
