[SOLVED]TRUE vs Megahalems and questions - Overclock.net

Hey guys i was wondering what cooler would you recommend me for my CPU, currently i have q6600 installed but i have also i7 components(i only need cpu and mobo waiting for dfi to come in my country

I am looking for something powerfull but i am in dilema which to get:

-Cooler PROLIMATECH Megahalems, socket 775/1366- 63€

-THERMALRIGHT Ultra 120- eXtreme Black Edition rev. C, socket 775/1366/AM2/AM2+ -77€

-THERMALRIGHT Ultra 120- eXtreme rev. C, non BLACK, socket 775/1366/AM2/AM2+ -68€

-THERMALRIGHT Ultra 120- eXtreme rev. A, socket 775/1366/AM2/AM2+ -63€

Money isnt problem but i added price so that you can compare and on every product i inserted link so you can click on them, also what is the difference between TRUE Rev a, b, c and does TRUE BLACK has better temps than "normal" TRUE or it is only nicer?

For a fan i have PAPST 1600Rpm (120x120x25) but i was wonderiing will temps be better with Scythe S-Flex SFF21G 120mm, 1900Rpm
i know that temps will be better but will i get decent temp drop(3-5c) or will i only get 1-2c better temps?

I have been searched on forum to see if anybody already done that test but havent found anything

EDIT:-SOLVED- i will get Prolimatech and i will use papst 1600rpm for both case and hs cooling

Thank you

best Cooler by performance is the MEGAHALEM
no question abbout it

but there is the IFX14 that is same as the MEGAHALEM, but looks way diff(and better of u ask me)which is going to perform w the same temps

otherwise the TRUE is still in the top3 coolers,but just cant beat the Prolimatech

EDIT
Voted for other
Reason: IFX 14 for better looks (IMO) andn same performance

I have owned a T.R.U.E. my vote is for the Prolima Mega. The color of the cooler is just for looks / what accessories it has. I personally don't like the way the T.R.U.E mounts. Also the flatness of the default base of the Mega is better by default. One thing to look out for though is the size of the ram-sinks on the ram for your new i7 rig.

If you wanted a push-pull setup with the Mega ... I'm pretty sure you won't have clearance issues if you just have one fan doing pull on the rear side.

And yeah I voted for Mega its just slightly better than TRUE performance wise but the price is similar so its a no brainer.

Even though the IFX is about/as good as the Megahalem its mounting sucks in comparison, so +1 on the Megahalem

i havnt owned either1 so i dont kno which mounting should b beter/worse
was just my opinion on wat reviews i seen

benko · 10-05-09

About ifx14 i have read here long time ago real test(so it wasnt a review, some user did a real test) and true was better! too bad i cant find that now

and i dont like ifx14 it just isnt nice to me..
about mounting i dont care i'll now how mount all of them

for ram i have corsair dominator 1600cl8

For prolimmatech i cant believe that it is better than true and less expancive,amazing

Its not about knowing how to mount them, its about the stability of how they mount. The Mega just has a better mounting system. It is more secure than the screws on the TRUE. Even tighted down all the way to almost stripping the screws my True still had some play in it, twists side to side. As for the dominator ram, you might have to take the mini ram sinks off in order for it to fit under the Mega, not sure about the TRUE.

is there any mod for this?

i think there is..will search a little bit...

Guys anybody can conifurm these about ram sinks?
Big problem if true, because those upper mini sinks are so nice, any maybe ram wont have enought cooling since it will be overclocked too

Mbo: DFi x58 or Asus p6t deluxe v2 or Gigabyte x58-ud5
