thermaltake venus 12 vs thermaltake silent boost

[nitenichiryu1]

between the two (with pros n cons weighed out), which would be the better choice? the chip im using will be a 3500+. i will most likely overclock to a comfortable extent. thanks

Neither, both are junk.

I agree.

But I'm really not a fan of Thermaltake at all.
If you have the option, you should really look at Thermalright and Zalman products.

really? hmm..im just wondering because im sort of on a budget, and i dont know what is the best i can get for my money? would i want an all copper hsf? and i dont think the xp-120 would fit on my mobo (msi k8n neo2).

why dont you just stick with your stock hsf? Im at 2.55ghz and im doing fine with it. But if your on a budget i would get this:

Almost the same price as the thermaltake but so much better cooling and quietness.

hmm..hehe thanks, i'll take a look into that.

the Venus 12 is nice, that's wat i'm going to get. It's still pretty quiet at 3000-3500 rpm (still moving a lot of air) and you can adjust it from 2000 up to 5500. TT makes good stuff, no matter wat people say!

hehe yea..im still thinking about what i should get, but i guess the venus would suck cool a lot better than the silent boost because of the adjustable fan speed...hmm...and my case will have 4 case fans, anyway.. praetorian case, by the way.
