Best Air Cooling?

Post by Gamble »

Hey, I was just wondering what everyones thoughts were on the best air cooler available right now. I am leaning toward buying a Thermalright Ultra 120 or a Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX. Any that blow these out of the water? What is everyone's opinion?

well i've done some testing on cooling solutions on my Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 and the results are seen here:

I've not personally used the Ultra 120, so not sure how it stacks up against the VX.

thanks, when i first saw the nautilus i was thinking it was air, too, but then i realized that the reviewer (may have been you) was just comparing it to a water solution, thanks

The venerable Scythe Ninja should be on anyone's short list for air cooling.
