Hey guys, I still use the Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX & it works good when I have the fan on high but its so damn loud.

My temps on load are around 45-50, might hit 55 if Im gaming which is not bad. Is the Dark Night worth getting? Would it lower the temps even more & is it loud? The only thing Im worried about is it not fitting. The Typhoon also has a 120mm fan, so does the Dark Knight, so wouldnt it be around the same temps? Or would the upgrade be worth it.

The cooler I have now blocks the first two slots on my MB, which is fine since I use the back two.

Also, installation wise, is it easy to install? I'm not to good with installing HSF's but I didnt have a problem installing the Big Typhoon.

Thanks 4 the help!

i upgraded from a Typhoon to a Xiggy DK and never looked back i love it! its not a loud even at max speed. very easy to fit but i have AM2 mobo. Oh so do you LOL

Yeah you should go for the Dark Knight. You have a top exhaust on your case right? I've hard the DK can't be installed vertically on AMD boards disallowing airflow to the back exhaust of the case. My DK is arriving today or tomorrow, I can't say how difficult it is to set up but from the videos I've seen it doesn't seem hard.
