It'd be worth it, the v8 is quite decent cooler at its holiday price.
AC7 to v8 a worthy upgrade?

For 40$ its a nice good looking cooler and yes Mega is like 100$ in Canada.

NO NO NO NO NO.........swapping the AC7 PRO for the V8 would be an EPIC waste of cash.

the AC7 PRO will dissipate up to 200w of heat, i bet the V8 is nowhere near that.

oh dont talk crap mate..... my Q9450 when loaded out while ''passive'' hits 75c in about 6 secs, please dont tell me my chip dont get hot enough for a good comparison.

What do you mean by passive? You mean with the fan turned off on the cooler? Because if that's the case, you've proven my point as that's WAY too hot for any Yorkfield.

what do you think happens without airflow over the cooler, the chip heats up, even with a Megahalem.... with no air movement it'll cook itself.
you should stop typing, that hole is only getting deeper.
