IMO Xigmatek Gaia SD1283 is the king of budget coolers today. It costs cheaper than Hyper 212 plus, performs slightly better and quieter. So people, who ever wants a budget cooler, check it out.
Does anyone know the difference I can expect between this (212 evo) and a coolermaster TX3? I don't do any overclocking (really) but the summers can get really hot and I don't have any air-conditioning. I've thought of other coolers but size is a huge issue as I'm using a Thermaltake V3 case and I want to keep my top fans....
P.S. thanks for the review.. I usually check overclockers3d when I want help/advice from people who know what they are talking about.
