Use the TIM that comes with it. Its not too bad. Get a better fan though. 50cfm will be good. It can always be slowed down, not sped up

A fan comes with it??? Great!!! Will order tomorrow

@Bazik - read quite a few reviews. Are you sure it comes with a fan?

I.E. heat paste- the stuff that conducts heat bettween your cpu and cooler. the better the quality, the lower ur cpu temps...

I''d also recommend the Ultima 90 - best value for money.

The Vindicator is good, but the mounting system is just plain silly for a heatsink of that size.

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 15 Oct 2007, 20:19

so should I buy a 92 to accompany it?

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 15 Oct 2007, 20:58

No, 120.

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 15 Oct 2007, 21:15

K thought so... Suggestions Antec tri-cools??? As long as it's blue or black I'm happy

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 15 Oct 2007, 21:21

Tri cools are great fans

Anything around 55cfm is good.

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 15 Oct 2007, 21:27

Thanks Bazik

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 15 Oct 2007, 21:46

Np. Tri cools are prob the best fans in SA. If you can afford one, get it

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 15 Oct 2007, 21:50

No I'm getting the Ultim-90 buuuuut... *drum roll*

getting an enermax warp with it = 83cfm!!!!

Very good fan. Not common in SA btw. Nice choice

You will have amazing temps. Far better than a 9700.

Er, If i'm not too late
Cooler master Gemini II
R255 at the mo but excludes fans. Get the big one which uses 120mm fans.

Cools your motherboard, RAM, CPU volt regulators etc which is nice.

I have the Arctic Freezer 7 pro buut I got it from England where it's 20 quid however here its R500. At 20 quid its amazing but not at R500.
Much prefer the Gemini II to the Freezer 7 pro in terms of cooling.

Thermaltake typhoon was also an amazing cooler.

The GeminII is all show and no go in my opinion.

If you check this link, you'll see that with a 120MM fan the Ultima beats the pants off of the GeminII

And if you sandwich the Ultima you'll get even better performance.

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 17 Oct 2007, 16:23

@wikid - Sandwich?

RobThePyro · Post by **RobThePyro** » 17 Oct 2007, 17:01

put two 120mm fans on it, i.e. one infront one at the back, one pushing air, one pulling
