Running stress test now and the temps are much cooler -- I wonder if I should stick with my Xigmatek and sell or return the H60? They're a good 5 or 6 degrees cooler.

Hey fox, if you're out there, be aware there is a webOS update and it kills some of the Preware stuff. On the bright side, it makes the TP just as fast without some of the Preware stuff.

I can't decide if I want to go from my 212+ to a megahalem or not...

I don't think the H60 is worth using unless I can knock another 5 degrees off. I doubt that will happen but I could be wrong. Right now, I've peaked at 80 on one core after about 40 minutes and the other core highs are 78, 74, and 71. Previously, I was hitting 85 and 84 on the hottest two cores.

yeah unless you want something your current cooler doesn't offer I would just return the H60. I'm probably not going to upgrade anytime soon.

I just ordered more matching 120mm fans for my case

Get a silver arrow, those wannabe liquid coolers are just that. ;)

Silver arrow is better but performance comes down to how carefully its mounted. Weight is a big issue if the system moves. Mine are moving constantly and I've cracked a few motherboards nearly in half but that's from the systems falling over/to the floor when they're not secured. Fortunately 99.98% of the users never have to worry about this.

At that price it's a no brainer!
