CPU Coolers

[Djinni]

This is just a quick one.

I was planning to get a ThermalTake Frio from Novatech for my new PC build (also all from Novatech)

However Novatech are unable to find a UK supplier with any stock of the Frio so now I need look at alternatives.
Someone has recommended that I look at:

Gelid Tranquillo Quiet CPU Cooler
Order Code: GEL-TRANQ
£22.99 inc vat
(£19.16 ex vat)

Instead which apparently has almost the same performance as the Frio and is much quieter.

oh sorry (I did look but didn't see it must be too early in the morning still...)

I'm not sure if you're asking for opinions on that specific cooler or not, but I don't know much about Gelid coolers.

However that same site has the Cooler Master 212+ which has received great reviews here and elsewhere for just a bit more. I'd go with it instead as it's a known quantity.

I was Although other suggestions are always good

As for the CM 212+ I've looked at that quite a bit, and to be honest part of the reason I opted for the Frio was a much easier installation + it included 2 fans. As well as having better performance.
