Asus Star Ice

The fan depends on where you buy.... Do you purchase from the U.K. only?

Yeah. Unfortunalty I live in yUK so I can't get the good stuff you can.

 

[archilochus]

Sure you can... Order from over here and have it shipped... I think its cheaper and you get what you need..

 

[Quattro]

But it takes ages, it took me 3-4 weeks to get a processor over here before.
I don't like waiting for thing to come when they are taking ages, I die of antiipation.

I'm unable to find both items at one location! The HS and the fan..

And when we were discussing monster 120mm Deltas:
120mm, 220 CFM, 15mm pressure
120mm, 220 CFM, 26mm pressure
120mm, 190 CFM, 18mm pressure

I'm only not 100% assured if you want such in your rig.

Okay then..
I think I'll get one. But I might get an Star Ice anyway just to play with it in a few months.

That looks like the Thermaltake to me. In which case the mounting scheme is very hard to deal with.

And the thermaltake version, not being encrusted with gimpy plastic, allows the use of 92mm fans.

Similar performance can be had with the Coolermaster Hiper6, and it has better mounting and a higher quality level. It only takes 80mm fans, but performs very well with two quiet 80mm fans in push-pull. I've considered getting one, but...

All the testing I've seen indicates the XP-120 only needs about a 50cfm fan to outperform either the Thermaltake or the Coolermaster. An optimal (soldered fin) version that held 92mm fans with good mounting would be a strong contender, but as it is, the XP-120 stands above the crowd.
