ohldboy Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 The Xigmatek Loki is a better cooler than the Cooler Master TX-3, fwiw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeGunny Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Personally I've always felt the extra time to install a bolted mounting bracket is worth it. Less vibration, which means less noise. And solid metal screws/bolts will usually leave the heatsink to outlast everything else in your build: Leaving re-usage as an option if you ever rebuild.

hardnrg Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Some push-pin designs are SO hard to twist-lock or unlock, due to the proximity to the heatsink and/or surrounding components, that I end up stripping skin off my knuckles or need to use pliers or something to get hold of the bloody tools-free "handy" gripless, ridiculous black plastic tab thing...

One of the mounts on my Xigmatek S1283 was almost no clearance to access, if I had child hands it'd be much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
