I'm told the Venomous-X is the best but people say the Noctua NH-D14, Megahalems, even the H50 are great.. So I can't really choose between any of them. How do you think each would do with a Scthe Ultra Kaze 120x38 2000rpm fan? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/64...812L-2000.html

Edit- What about a 3000rpm Ultra Kaze? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185054

I myself just went through this very debate. However I'm replacing a CM V8, not a Xiggy Dark Knight. Just curious as to why you're replacing it? Oh, I went with a Megahalem and am doing a push/pull with some GentleTyphoons. If you go with the Kaze's, they're loud so I really urge a fan controller if you go that route. Here's a link that helped me out: http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling...ered-here.html

they should all perform around the same cooling wise. The Kaze are loud have decent static pressure but tend to start clicking when undervolted

YouTube- Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000

If I had to pick a Kaze fan I would get the 2000RPM version otherwise San Ace or Panaflo

h50 + 2 x $ 3 yate loon high speeds, and your done

my best suggestion.

Well I want better temps so I can push my overclock further and it seems like my dark knight is letting my temps get to high, about 56C on load at just 3.7 1.45. I don't mind the noise of the fans because I'm always listening to my music or playing a game. I just looked over that guide but it still doesn't help me decide which is best for me

 

[freakb18c1]

i had a VX and it was about 5c - 8c higher then my true. i dunno was not impressed with the vx at all

current setup i have true lapped little pressure / washer mod nothing crazy with a kaze keeps a q9650 @ 4.25 full load with linx 68c -70c

maybe the vx does not work well with 38mm

I'd say the TRUE or maybe the Corsair H50. I had great success overclocking my 955 with the TRUE Solid Copper Edition....temps comparable to a decent watercooling system.

 

[freakb18c1]

people for about true soon as that megatron thing came out lol

 

[redalert]

well when I had my Noctua which performs about the same as a Dark Knight and switched to a Megahalem with my Q9450 I saw a big improvement in my temps 7 degrees cooler info in my sig. Picking any of those will be a big upgrade with at least a 5 degree drop in temps.

i used a ocz vendetta w/ kaze 3000 on it for my 9850 at 3.2 and it worked great. kept me at 55c while folding for hours. i give 2 thumbs up on my old combo. but my liquid setup def. beats it.

 

[bulmug]

the best 2 heatsinks are the Venomous x and the Prolimatech if you have those kaze 3000 Imo + i undervolt my Kazes and ive never had any clicking sounds

 

[Aznboy1993]

mega x2 kaze 3k and you're set

i had mega shadow and x2 kaze 3k and couldn't be happier... i had an h50 before that and a xiggy before that and a freezer 7 pro before that

by far mega shadow pwn all of them.

 

[Meta-Prometheus]

Megahalems + 3k or 2k Ultra Kaze.

Awesome performer!!

Anyone want to share their temperatures about their setups, it'll help with a decision process
