arctic freezer or thermaltake big typhoon?

Okay lads..and ladies

Iv got an E6600 and i need a new cooler.

So i'v read around and both the arctic freezer 7 pro and the thermaltake big typhoon seem like really good coolers at a very reasonable price.

Soooo question: which one is better and preferably quite?

I like the Freezer better as it blows the air out the back and is less $$.

The BT is actualy a very good cooler, one of TTs good products (yes there are a few). We have reviews of both on the site.

yeah i saw the reviews and they both looked good at what they do best, but you know how it is....

you want something, then u see something else and you wonder whether u should spend that little bit extra to get that for that little bit more performance

well thanx for the super fast input, the arctic freezer it is then (or will be in the next week, unless someone can point me to an even better cooler for that low price range of £30 :P )

The BT can be a beastly cooler, but as you saw from my review, requires a few things to run at its absolute best. I do so love my BT, but in your situation, I would probably go for the Freezer due to the price point.
