Hi everyone. I was thinking of changing my new CPU cooler when I get the Phenom II 555BE when it comes out. I will probably be swapping my mobo and memory to DDR3 as well. In the meantime, of course I am an overclocking enthusiasts like most of you.
Anyways, as you know, overclocking will require a second-party CPU cooler. I have been looking at the XIGMATEK Dark Knight vs. the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler vs. XIGMATEK HDT-S1284EE 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler. Is there such big difference between them? They all look very similar so I don't get what's with all the different model names. What are the pros and cons about these?
The Xiggy appeals to me a lot because its a cheap cooler and its under the $40 budget. As you know, I am using an Antec 300 case, so I also would like to know if they will fit comfortably in the case.
Thanks any suggestion and help you can provide.
