Why would you suggest a Dark Knight over it?
Do you recommend it? and do you think it will fit

maybe you should look the sunbeam core contact freezer 120
but any of the xigamtek´s might work specially the s1283 the dark knight is good but since it´s black it doesn´t (disipacion, disipar---> i don´t know how to tell this in english) liberate or remove the heat so efficiently.

but i prefer the core contact freezer 120

A lot of major fail in this thread. Why spend $60 on a Noctua when you can get better cooling with a Megahalems or T.R.U.E. for similar Pricing?



The Dark Knight and the Mugen 2 will both cool just as good, if not better than that Noctua for less money!

I could get the thermalright but newegg didn't sell them. I wish I could have but I kinda fell in love the noctua. So its all done. I already ordered it. Thanks for everyone helping me. I might do a case mod if it don't fit anyway.
