Default Xigmatek Dark Knight VS Vigor Monsoon III LT
Hey
I cant decide on which1 to get.
Either the VIgor Monsoon III LT

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835702007

or the Xigmatek Dark Knight.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233029

also what about this noctua??
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835608002

I hear both of them are good(newegg reviews and online), the Vigor I dont need quieter fans, the Xigmatek is cheaper.
I have a e8400 45nm i want to get to about 3.8if possible. Also, the Vigor has blue fans since my entire setup is blue, the CM690.
Please help me deicde.
Thanks

cpc just released a huge cooler shoot out. the Titan Fenrir performed the best for LGA75 and is only £35 ish. Stunning too imo, but you can replace the fan with another 120mm of your choice

Buy the xigmatek and with the 15$ you saved get a real nice 38mm fan(preferred) OR a 25mm with blue leds or something to go with your case.

The white fan on DK looks great with the blue leds I have.For the money The DK is the best bet.It has a bolt through kit to boot.Keeps my Q9550 cool.

The Noctua and Xigmatek are similar so the Xigmatek is better value as it comes with a good fan and a bolt-thru kit that would cost 15 bucks if purchased separately.

Vigor Monsoon III, don't even think about it. My friend bought one, it was a piece of garbage, sold it, bought a Xigmatek Dark Knight and he got better temps and he actually made some money from the deal. Lol.
