Coolit Eco vs Coolermaster V6GT

[dkreventon]

Hello,

I have a system with the following components: intel i5 750, msi p55-gd65, gigabyte hd 5850, 2x wd6400aaks raid0, corsair 650tx, teamgroup xtreem 2x2gb ddr3 1600 cl7 low voltage 1156, coolermaster haf 922 with a megaflow 200 on the left pannel (this pannel does not include a fan).

And after 6 months after I bought it I decided to buy a cpu cooler. In my budget, from all the coolers I've searched only 2 can satisfy me.

The coolermaster v6 gt and the coolit eco alc (coolit is about 5$ more).

I don't know if the v6 gt is going to fit in my case.

So I am asking you, which one is better? For the coolit eco, I will be using my case's back exhaust 120mm fan for the push and pull configuration.

Neither coolers are what I would call top of the line. Avoid the coolit like hte plague, as the barbs are easy to break off and a decent air cooler will beat it. Look for something from the noctua stable (see the many reviews on OC3D), as they will be roughly the same size as the V6, but will cool better and much more quietly.

yeah i have to say the noctua nh-d14 is the only way 2 go

 

[dkreventon]

Yes, the NH-D14 is the best, but these 2 coolers fit in my budget

personally i would swap out the 5850 for a £112 palit gtx460 (5570 price but get 2 if u can budget it will blow a single 5850 to peices even a 5870) from overclockers.co.uk and get an nh-d14 if you only go for one card

 

[AMDFTW]

+1 for the 460 but be quick before step gets another lmao.

the DH14 is a the best aircooler out it ruins the ones you mentioned

The eco is pretty expensive, I mean its £60, so a noctua for £60-70 isn't that far different. If you can't afford it now, wait a week, instead of spending a huge amount now and then having to wait longer to afford something decent. The eco is average at best even for an air cooler (i.e. something for £15 could beat it).

it will blow a single 5850 to peices even a 5870)

Don't you think you're getting a little bit carried away now?

 

[thestepster]

it will beat them both as it beats a 480 that beats a 5870 all for the price of a 5850

 

[alienware]

Whoah woah. Now you're telling me a £112 card can beat a 480?

What have you been smoking?

 

[thestepster]

2 460's

 

[alienware]

Oh I see

You might want to edit that into your post

 

[thestepster]

well the price of a 5850 gives it away
