Like the title says, i'm getting THIS to cool my CPU, but I need a good 120mm fan to go with it. I've a stock Lian-li from my K62 case, but it's not very good. Sacrifices CFM for dB. Any good recommendations?
TBH - i've done a bit of research since the initial post and i've came across THIS for cheaper. I was set on the TRUE until I saw the reviews for the Cogage. Any thoughts?
Very good cooler, I changed my mind and went with the Cogage to, my i7 920 3.8 idles at 39/40 and about 65 full load. Bit of a pain to fit tho (damn pushpins) you might wanna get the bolting kit for like £10 I think it could drop temps even further, i plan to get it soon.
Cool - ordered. At least I know when I OC with this cooler, the temps won't stop me getting to 3.8. Thanks all.
One question hooFlungDung, why buy the TRUE Spirit + 1336 bolt through kit and not just buy a TRUE Rev C, you only saved £6.01 Well ok it comes with a fan but still...
True + Akasa AK-FN057 Apache = £66.46 Cogage + Bolt-through= £46.47 Edit: ok fan might be expensive, but the saving is still there for the performance.
You dont need an overpriced fan like that on a TRUE Rev C Plenty of 1500 or 2000rpm fans that cost around £7.00 which do the job, hell the two i use for push/pull cost all of £5 each and have decent CFM. Still im sure your be happy all the same, enjoy.
I not questioning the coolers quality, just the savings as far more cooler could have been had which included bolt through kit.
Ok then, knock £7 off the TRUE total and i'm still £13 better off. I tried to set myself a budget of £50 that went to **** when I saw reviews of the TRUE, so I said **** it and went over, then saw the Cogage and thought I could save some cash. I'm spending enough on this build as it is tbh... The benchmarks look pretty good though.
Id reccomend sharkoon silent eagle se pwm fans, sadly oc doesnt stock them, quiet as a mouse but they shift a lot of air.
I didnt rate the apaches myself , tried them on my noctua and my H50 in push pull and didnt see any decrease in temps
