Rosco Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Ok so I need to decide on a cooler for my brother's pc. It is going to be in a HAF 922 (Mine I'm getting myself a Trooper ) now I'mm stuck between the Thermalright Silver arrow and the Cheaper Antec Kuhler 620... The Chip won't have a extreme oc but I want to see 3.6Ghz so my question is which would be the best option? Ram clearance is no problem, and the mobo is a 990FXA-GD65 so I should be able to see those clocks. Just have to decide on the cooler. BTW noise is a non issue its truly just witch would be the better option. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW noise is a non issue its truly just witch would be the better option. Thanks in advance There are a lot of other options if you're willing to hear them... But in answer to your question, in my opinion, TR Silver Arrow over the 620. Silver Arrow stomps all over a 620, you'd need a 920 to compete with the Silver Arrow. But, There is always the NH-D14, The new Phanteks cooler which as far as i know now, its THE Best air cooler on the market now, even beatting the NH-D14, by a long shot at that too! OCC reviewed the Phanteks here. NH-D14 and the Phanteks are similarly priced to the Silver Arrow, as well as a Promlimatech Megahalems paired with a couple high CFM fans can be cheaper and almost as good too! the NZXT Havik is a big tower cooler comparable to the NH-D14 as well, and as far as i know the Havik is better than the Antec 620 and the Silver Arrow, and its only $60! There are many many options if you're open to them. More than that though, For a 1055t you really only need a Hyper 212+, YOu can hit 4.0GHz with a 1055t or 1090t and use only a Hyper 212+, with temps still in check. In that area there are also other options of good but still cheap coolers. But the Hyper 212+ is the best when it comes to being cheap and highly effective. Heck with the new years holiday sale at newegg, the Hyper 212+ is on sale for $20 for the next day or two, you'll need the promo code from the link. ~*EDIT*~, just noticed you're in South Africa, Ignore everything i say about prices and newegg, lolol.

Speedway Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I agree the Hyper 212+ is the way to go You can hit 3.6GHz and then some, just as Merc sd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil69 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I just ran Prime95 for 30 minutes on my 1055T at 3.65Ghz on an ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 with 8Ghz of Corsair Dominator in an Antec P183 and the Temp peaked at 52 but stayed at 50-51. I'm using a xigmatek gaia sd1283. I got it from Newegg for $24.99 less a $20.00 rebate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Depeding on your budget get either one of Hyper 212+/EVO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) The 212 is a good budget cooler.If your looking to overclock there are much better. I would not recommend it. Get the Noctua D-14. With increased voltages to get decent overclocks, the 212 kinda suck compared to the D-14.

Speedway Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Yea, but death, doesn't the D-14 price kinda suck compared to the 212+'s price, especially when the OP is looking to get 3.6GHz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Yea, but death, doesn't the D-14 price kinda suck compared to the 212+'s price, especially when the OP is looking to get 3.6GHz NOT TRUE AT ALL!!!!!!!!! I just bought myself a Nh-D14 for 50 bucks from an NCIX sale But seriously, there are so many sales right now, you can get a much better heat sink for about the same price. In two days, then yeah the hyper 212 Evo is king again. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4143848&csid=_21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Angel, you do realize that many places had the 212+/evo on sale too right Or did you miss that a few posts up My point was for what the OP is looking for, there isn't a need to spend more money!
