I can do push pull on the Noctua fan, and the Antec Tri cool. Sadly, I don't have 2 of the San Ace 1011's and they're about impossible to find, and $25 a pop.

........do you even know what the heck you talking about? of course it means the true. it got whooped by 4+c....more than 4c is close...nice if thats your standard. read the chart again under loaded. 1 fan....Noctua fan.

oh this too
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.ph...1&limitstart=6

keep dreaming the Noc can beat HDT. It may get close to performance with 1 extra heatpipe, but beat it? hah.

ljason8eg

Fail.

Those are all different reviews done by different people in different conditions. WAY too much room for error.

I'm trying to come up with the money to buy the Xig now. I just need to silence this talk once and for all.

That's fine. You could just add one of the tricools and we can guesstimate what the temps would be with another San Ace.

Edit: Dude, Jason, just block him so you don't have to read his posts, or start reporting his posts for trolling. Arguing with him isn't going to help. Don't feed the trolls!

The san ace actually pushes SO much air through the heatsink that if i put my hand on the side its pushing the air out of, it feels like there's not even a heatsink there lol. If i had to make a guess, there's probably no benefit to having 2 san aces on there, but with lower speed 120x25mm fans, i think there will be improvement with 2 fans.

Can't seem to find the block button lol or i would. Thought you could only do that in chat...

Wake up please, the HDT coolers do very well at heat loads of less than 150-175w, anything more and they can't keep up like the TRUE or the Noctua, this has been tested before(HDT vs TRUE), and the true comes out on top.
Gimme a minute and I will find it.

Here it is:

Well if youre stuck with a Noctua, drop the ambient a couple degrees and you have similar performance. People usually dont have both HSFs at once. I'm all in for an unbiased test here ljason8eg.

poohball, try not to be a wiseass, maybe youre right maybe youre not but most of us here at OCN likes to test stuff out by ourselves. Theres a reason to why google finds this forum almost whatever you search in enthusiast components/modding/overclocking...... Its called enthusiasm.

Yes Jason, please test it, I am really eager to see how you can yield better result or how Noctua can ignore law of physics when it comes to heat dispense.

I already know what will be the result for a 4heatpipe cooler stack againt 3heatpipe HDT cooler. with a 1200-1300rpm fan, the 4 heatpipe will be close to 3 heatpie HDT at best. Let see your result.

ljason8eg

Ok, poohball is blocked..thank god. Anyways...

Yes i'm going to be totally unbiased. I really could care less if the noctua gets beat cause i'm keeping the TRUE anyway. I really want to throw the xig in here...maybe if i could find someone local that wants a build...I could just test the cooler before i give it to them lol.

are you going to do this in a case or open air? If you cant find an Xig for the review I will buy a brand new one from newegg and shipped it to you. I wasted money on a bunch of stuff I dont really need so whats $40
