Thermalright IFX-14 Released

[Sj_GrenDeL]

That looks good enough for me to finally upgrade from my Big Typhoon and Delta, especially with the q6600 on the way. You rekon a 38mm fan will fit in the gap between the stacks?

Hmm i might have to get another delta to even the weight distro, one off each side.

I think it suggests either a 120m or a 140mm for that.

He means 38mm thick, not height/width

About time they released this ! I still have a few questions about it though, especially a comparison of a TT Ultra Extreme vs IFX-14 (59 Euro vs 80 Euro).
Fans...2x 120mm // 2x 140mm or 3x 120mm // 3x 140mm?
I currently have a 120mm Panaflo on my XP-120, so I figure I'd pick up a Scythe-S 120mm and use 2x 120mm (can't find any other 120mm Panaflo's in the Netherlands, which sucks). The Scythe-S is gonna set me back 20+ Euro incl shipping though, ugh.

I just hope the IFX is worth it and will fit a GA-P35-DS3R

Interesting find from this guy, IFX killed by Ultra120-E

 

[Kuroimaho]

Wow that's surprising. Seems no real reason to upgrade my infinity till I go quad.
An IFX extreme might help making it on par with the U120E.

I've never been a fan of ThermalRight's "easily bendable" heatsinks ever since I got my SI-97 and it seemed to be a little bent in the pipes when it arrived- never performed very well for me, and I've seen others do quite well with that sink.

Hopefully Vapor there just got a dud or "bent" version which, even though he straightened it, has restricted the fluid flow in the pipes enough to warrant the results he obtained.

Also, seems like this bending has been identified as a problem with some of their sinks. Why else would the SI-128 have a support bar on the sink opposite the end of the pipes?

Hmm, interesting review that Vapor guy did. It would seem silly to get a more expensive less effective IFX-14 over the 120Extreme. Glad I ordered the 120Extreme instead.

Might want to wait for a more official review to surface though as this is just a regular user it seems. I had other reasons I choose the 120Extreme over the IFX-14, and that was assuming the IFX-14 would perform better.

Thanks for the link.

Certainly no buyer's remorse now, considering I bought the 120 Ex about 4 days ago.

 

[CRiMZ]

what a waste of $90 unless he bought for the sake of reviewing in which case thanks.

My box came within 1 day on regular shipping

Looks sweet, I'm thinking of getting a new HS, no reason too, but I want one

Tests , tests , tests and then some reviews!

 

[Paule_de]

The only Problem i have with that cooler are it's dimensions. I built a custom case from sketch and now this thing is just too big to fit in there.. dammit !

[treatmentx]

Mmm, it looks like it does a better job on Quads anyway right? or am I mis-reading the charts somewhere

 

[webdevour]

Ohh I like the idea of being compatible with a 140mm fan, nice idea.
