Default ULTRA Chill Tec, worth it?

so i was looking into tec cooling and stumbled upon this cool lil thing,http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...chill-tec.html

what does everyone think about it, is it worth the 130$? i think it might just be. it seems to be pretty cool, runs low temps from what i read.

That is not worth it at all. If you want the best air cooling get the Thermalright Ultra Extreme.

You'd be better off spending that money on a TRUE, two 80+cfm fans, and some sandpaper for lapping than that hsf. The TRUE will yield better temps.

Unless you are trying to cool a 486, forget about it.

From seeing past benches, it's pretty mediocre for the price. The TRUE outperforms it.
