Both great coolers.I'd go with the Megahalems though for it's less awkward mounting system and the fact that you dont need construction crane to get it into place ! .

if you can fit it in your case the ifx, if not the mega.
only down side with the ifx is i have seen alot of people with them and the base needed lapping, i must of been lucky as mine was flat so...

The IFX needs lapping and a better mounting system. The one that it comes with is just pure ****.
The test that they did with the ifx vs the megahalems had the ifx use the mounting system of the megahalems on the ifx. Honestly, just get the mega. Cheaper, and performs within negligible differences.

I have not used either but as said earlier, the IFX-14 is huge and looks like a pain to mount, I vote is for the Megahalems

Megahalem definitely. Someone on the forum (forgot who) tested with 38mm fans against IFX-14 with 3 120mm and 2 38mm fans and megahalem won.

Simple search on the upper right of "Megahalem IFX-14" pulled up THIS post. Should answer your question for you in detail.
