Black Heatsinks

[ScottAD]

I am doing a "blacked out" build and have looked at some heatsinks.

I'm using a Corsair Carbide 400R.

I saw the Tuniq Tower 120 extreme and EVGA M020-00-000234.

Tuniq has LEDs I may have to detach as I do not want it lit up.

My questions are;

Which is better from a value per performance standard?

Other recommendations for black heatsinks?

I love the evo but this is for an all black build.

Thermalright 120 Ultra black edition is still available here.

Is it compatible to LGA 1155?? What is the expected performance versus the others? Both are available on the egg as well

1155 = 1156 in the hole arrangement.

if it says 1156 it can take 1155.

Out of the box I dont think its 1155/1156 compatible, but they do sell a bolt thru kit for it making it compatible.

Review of the tuniq tower and thermalright true (while not the black version, essentially the same afaik) Nice thing about the reviews is they use the stock fan and also test some of the common gentle tyhpoons in use also.

Prolimatech made a Black Megahalems. I looks good, but it's pricey and might be hard to find.

Amazon: they dont have any
maybe ebay?

Another option, while the heatsink itself is not black, the fan shrouds are and from a normal mounting orientation thats about all you're going to see.

I appreciate all the help! I've decided to go with the Venomous X Black with 140MM Push Pull

I'd like to see the build when it is done 🙂
