Better fan for i7

[rootbeer506]

Simple question. What one is better, they are within $5 of each other and price really isn't a concern. I'm looking for the best one that will cool the best. Obviously the sh1tty stock one isn't going to cut it.

Both are thermaltake, but I'm open to other brands. Newegg doesn't have anything and this is the only two options tiger had. Liquid cooling is a PIA and not an option.

V1

V1 is all copper, but I guess I'm leaning towards the SpinQ. . . . . It's going into an Antec 300 case if it matters.

I'd take the SpinQ simply for the looks... It's probably perform better too, if you can't get your hands on an Ultra-120 or Xigmatek HDT-S1283

The V1 doesn't look like it comes setup for the 1366?

The SpinQ has a bastard mounting kit according to some reviewed.

Is the Ultra120 ok for 1366?

If you can get a mounting kit for it, sure! Pretty sure there are plenty of replacement kits for all the most popular heatsinks, be they from the manufacturer or a 3rd party.

SpinQ is a bit of a pain to get on all right, though nowhere near as tough as my own S1283 was. Personally I'm never building a system that doesn't use a bolt-through HSF mounting solution again, it's just too much trouble getting on a pushpin HSF in comparison.

What makes those 2 so good. . . . I have the AeroCool GT-1000 for my Core 2 right now, is that pretty good?

http://www.frostytech.com has the reviews I tend to go by when purchasing coolers, the tests seem pretty thorough and the method seems pretty foolproof.
