IVIYTH0S Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 How far are your trying to take it?? The Sunbeam Core Contact is the best for the money, and the best air cooler out IMHO is the Prolimatech Megahalems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack_patrol Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 The Sunbeam Core Contact is the best for the money, and the best air cooler out IMHO is the Prolimatech Megahalems I'll have to agree. His statement is 100% correct. The core contact is a bit cheaper but it does an excellent job. If you have the money, and is available to you, get the Megahalems + 2 fans in a pull - push config.

The Smith Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I tend to think that the best heatsink performance wise is now the Noctua NH-D14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dling Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I don't know how well the v8 will preform but I have the v10 and I will say their fan's are crap. Both of mine failed in a very short amount of time. Get a replacement fan If you get the v8 be ready to swap soon. If we had a thumbs down face I would put it here.

potatochobit Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 CM V10 is a mid budget cooler and is fine the noctuas cost 60-80$ noctua is a bad value but is one of the best performing air heat sinks you can buy and quite quiet now if your next question is should you upgrade, no Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
