That review is worthless it doesn't compare it to any of the top CPU coolers except the Noctua which is one of the better ones which outpeforms it. Best to stick with the Thermalright.

It does well up against the Xigmatek which is great cooler and the Xigmatek actually beats the TRUE in low-airflow tests....

Probably worth getting the Xigmatek as thats little over half the price of the Arctic cooler then.

Maybe, I'd be more interested to see a review by SPCR tho

Would liked to have seen how this compared to the TRUE, thought about getting one, as arctic products are usually pretty good and competitively priced. Unfortunately it took a while before it was released so i opted for a TRUE 120 black.

The fan is round but the hole looks square so you may be able to cable tie a better fan in there, i've got one being delivered tomorrow so i'll have a mess with it and see if i can squeeze a better fan in. I'm sure i could mod a fan to fit in some way.

well i tried it with a YateLoon and it kind of fits, its a little loose as the fan supplied is a bit wider, but could easily be secured
Doesn't look as good as with the supplied fan, but its going behind a side panel so i'm not to fussed

Fan is a little bit tall and thin

Next to my Tuniq but with the yate loon fan in.

not fitting it till the wkend but will kepp you informed of the performance.

Shame didnt compare the 120mm Xigmatek HDT1283, it can be had for sub £20 and it a stonking cooler.

I got this last week, seems really quiet and cool enough for a decent OC

Very old reviews though so don't know how it compares now.
