how is this cooler for my 3200 venice?

<A HREF="http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=4719&mcid=17" target="_new">here</A> is the thing, is it better than a xp-120 and a panaflo 120mm high or ultra? i mean i was going for the 7000B-LED for the nice looking LED (i got a windowed case, why not take advantage of it?) or go for a xp-120 and a panaflo and maybe a case mod for an extra 120mm fan on the window?


BTW can someone send me a video of the panaflo 120mm high or ultra in working? under 100% speed of course, just so i could see how loud the thing is.


Edit: i found a review in which i get to hear the thing in operation and found that its quiet, not onto finding a sound of a panaflo!

I was looking for something quiet and cool. The xp-120 fits both those.

Now 3-5C is actually a fair amount. You'll then have another 1C or 2C depending on how well you apply the thermal paste. So it can add up quick. To me it's not a matter of how much juice I can pull out though, it's a matter of being overclocked 20% and still running in the 30C's. Compromise.

If you're looking to max out your CPU then go for the best air cooling out there. I'm not sure what that is, but when I did mine it was the xp-120. If you're looking for looks then it's kinda up to you.

I just realized that the cooler you were looking at wasn't even 120mm. There's going to be no comparison then. You can get a glow in the dark fan if that's all you're out for, but I don't think panaflo does that.

O.o how do ya measure the db levels? they do it at 12" inches ... i'm gona assume that you did something close to that.. i know that the panaflo is measured at 41.5 dBa(from bigfootcomputers)

@wusy : UV? but if mine do expose to sunlight will it be sensitive enought to work?

There's one that is quieter still but Newegg didn't carry it so I didn't get it.
