It only got added to PPC's today.

Post by **KillerByte** » 23 Apr 2007, 21:43

can some one do me a huge favour. please work out what this would cost to buy. excluding local shipping.

I've never bought anything from Performance-PCs so I don't know what costs to add in.

Ag dude. Look around. I remember it. I didn't post it.

Post by **KillerByte** » 23 Apr 2007, 21:56

cool, thanx wikid.

I'll put in for next months PPC order. how long does the shipment usually take?

who organises it again.

Pity that that cooler doesn't ship with fans.

there is not much difference between it and the Ultra-X (which FrostyTech recons is a brilliant cooler) and I like the look of this one, has a bit of custom-ability to it.

If you really want the Gemini II it is available locally for about R450.00

i read a review at hardware logic and they advise to use these fans

ARCTIC COOLING Arctic Fan 12 (AF12) 120mm Case Fan

what you all think?

I also saw this thing ages ago...

Post by **KillerByte** » 23 Apr 2007, 22:44

reviews that i'm reading are say 8th march 2007, thats not that long ago. less than six months.

Post by **KillerByte** » 23 Apr 2007, 23:04

any one know where i can get one from, here in lovely ol' SA.

Okay, so here's the deal. I'm going to get this cooler but only if the following criteria can be met.

*I need to find quiet fans (i'm talking whisper quiet. 23db quiet.)
*I need those fans to be powered by molex since I only have 2 fan plugs on my mobo and I am using one for my GPU cooler.
*the above criteria doesn't need to be met if I can find a molex to 3 pin converter or a 3pin splitter to power both fans off one motherboard plug.

In fact if i can get a molex to 3 pin converter then i can plug my zalman GPU cooler into a molex plug.

Check out the fans on same page http://www.cafejava.co.za

okay, i've done some research and this is what i've come up with.

2x Vantec Stealth 120mm Fans. These use 2 proper ball bearings, according to what i've read this is good for long term noise reduction. These fans supposedly only generate 20db. which is what i want.

You do get 3-pin Fan power splitters. yet i can't seem to find them in SA. any one know where i can get one.

@kb: why dont you just buy the enzotech ultra-x ?

Thats what I did

Post by **KillerByte** » 24 Apr 2007, 08:28

i had a look at it and I think that the GeminII looks better and the reviews I've read say that it helps to reduce chipset temps as well.

Have you seen the fans I want to get with it?

Post by **KillerByte** » 24 Apr 2007, 11:15

okay, i'm fully awake and its like waking up to next to a woman that looked better when you were drunk.

This thing is huge, BIG IS BEAUTIFUL, but unfortunatley this beauty won't fit easily into my case and if it does, then i won'y be able to even take out a hard drive. its that big.

Common sense has kicked in. I'm getting the Enzotech Ultra-X.

but i want to find out if I can remove the fan and put on a Arctic Cooling Arctic 12 120mm fan. those things are brilliant.
