Gaming Rig for around 130K

[sumonpathak]

yes...they are trying...

 

[Myth]

Which one ?? Noctua ??

Stick with the noctua. Its worth it.

Planning on getting one myself, but doubt it would fit well

 

[gameranand]

Also as per the review link I posted I guess that Corsair A70 wins the crown from Noctua, however it blocks two RAM slots.

@ sumon
You have tested Maximus V Formula. What do you think ?? Would Corsair A70 block RAM slot in that E-ATX mobo too ??

Stick with the noctua. Its worth it.

See the review link I posted. Noctua loses in Cooling but wins in Noise.

 

[sumonpathak]

nah...it will be ok....
one warning though....if you dont OC heavily on that motherboard am gonna steal that mobo and give you my deluxe

 

[d6bmg]

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll call Vedant and tell them to see for Corsair A70 too.

Also whats your suggestion Corsair A70 or Noctua NH U12P-SE2 ??

 

[sumonpathak]

anyone will do....coin toss and decide

 

[gameranand]

Noctua costs me 1K more compared to Corsair. Now suggest.

 

[d6bmg]

Noctua costs me 1K more compared to Corsair. Now suggest.

NHU2P-SE2 is slightly better.
P.S. why don't you increase your budget by another 2K, and get H100?

 

[sumonpathak]

he comes from the fire nation..no water for him

Can't do that. My budget was initially 130K and now its already over 140K including SSD.

he comes from the fire nation..no water for him

You still didn't answered me. Noctua or Corsair when Corsair costing 1K lesser ??
And yeah I am from fire nation. I want air to expand, no water. LOL.

 

[sumonpathak]

dude...Noctua is THE best when it comes to air cooling...so try to get it at all cost...

 

[gameranand]

But its not available anywhere. Tried in SMC, PrimeABGB, Flipkart, TheITWares, Techshop.in, GolchhaIT and some more. Not available anywhere.
Its available at Bitfang but Cilus said that they have a tendency to deliver wrong products, so unsure whether its actually available there or not.

 

[sumonpathak]

Bitfang is in mumbai...right? lemme see if i can get it picked up for you
PM me your no plz

I don't know about Corsair but I am using Noctua U12P se2 at the moment. Even with 4.6 Ghz of overclock with 1.32v Vcore on my i5 2500K temperatures never go above 63 degrees when stress testing with prime95. In normal usage it never crosses the 60 degrees bar. These are the highest temps of just one core which for some reason on my PC runs hotter than the other 3. Coolest core hovers around 55-56 degrees and in normal usage its around 53-54. Two fans provided with the cooler are dead silent even at max speed. TIM provided with it is excellent. Installation guide and packaging was so nicely done that even for a first timer like me it was a piece of cake and took me hardly 10-12 minutes to go through everything. All in all a damn good cooler though a little expensive.

Here is a review of Corsair A70

Now I am not saying what is good and what is not. I am actually more inclined towards Noctua and will get it if available but you guys tell if that ain't available then should I go for Corsair A70. I think yes, what do you think ??

 

[d6bmg]

Ask itwares why they are not importing new noctua units anymore.

 

[Myth]

I hope the others dont raise the prices for the remaining noctua items in stock.

 

[gameranand]

Ask itwares why they are not importing new noctua units anymore.

I asked. They said they can arrange a unit for me in 1 month.
