iOverclock Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Hey guys i have broken one of my push pin things and now my cpu cooler (SIG) does not cool as well as it use too. So now im investing into a good cpu cooler. I have chosen a Scythe Kaze 3000rpm fan to replace the stock one and a fan controller. Now for the cpu cooler. My budget is about $50 and below. Anything that will peform better then the big typhoon vx will be good enough for me. The Xigmatek HDT-SD964 CPU Cooler has caught my attention and its only $35. And combined with a Xigmatek Crossbow ACK-17753 Backplate would this be a good replacement? Or should i get a Coolermaster Hyper212 for $48 from MSY. I will be buying from: Scorpiantech: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer Msy: http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/msy.htm Centrecom: http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/default.php Thx in advance.

iOverclock Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 the noctua is more expensive but the true 120 is simirlary priced. but i can get the scorpian instead of the dark knight which is 14 bucks cheaper or should i stick with the dark knight or get the true 120?

Fight Game Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 When I bought my xig s1283 (essentially the same thing as the dark night but different color I think?), I read performance reviews showing it to be the same as the true 120. So get what ever one looks better, if that matters, or what ever one is cheaper. Either one shouldn't hold you back on a nice temperature and an oc speed.

iOverclock Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) scorpian is the one with a lower cfm fan and i think it doesnt come with a backplate. the true 120 and xig dark knight are 79 bucks. I think ill go with the xig dark since it comes with a 83cfm fan and backplate. thx guys for your help.
