Corsair H50 or Thermaltake Frio for 4GHz?

[blu3flannel]

Hi,

I haven't really been able to find much information about these two coolers going head to head, but I want to know which one is better so I won't waste my money on one of them. I will be cooling an i5 750 and I will be overclocking it to the 4GHz and beyond mark, so I would like to know which will be the best at this. Thanks.

Okay, but do you have anything to back it up? Posting a link and then leaving doesn't help much...

here is the latest frostytech chart, it has the Frio ranked 4th, the H50 is quite a bit farther down.

In general the H50 is beaten by much cheaper conventional air coolers so its not a good deal.

Whew, I don't think a 6C raise in temps is worth paying extra for, thanks for that man. I'm gonna go with the Frio, considering it's only 60 bucks for killer performance.
