[Tenida]

Thanks Geek-This cooler looks awesome man.Have to look some review.

Get a 212+ for now...then save money and go for liquid cooling...not presealed Corsair ones, but custom made...just my 2cents

^^Hahaha no liquid cooling for me and also there no point for going with Hyper 212+.BTW.
Corsair A70 is better than Hyper 212+.

As I had told you, avoid HDT and get either N620 from ebay, or V6GT from MD, they have ready stock of V6GT.

 

[Tenida]

As you told it earlier i am not going for HDT based cooler.Probably V6GT for me.

Wait a min, if your mobo had arrived what are you doing in home? Get it boy and enjoy sweet performance.

I am just telling sammy that A70 is better than Hyper +

Definitely, but unless you have access to lots of tim, I suggest to stay off it, the additional expense for tim really bites, specially since good tims are so rare in india.

@ tenida

Consider me a noob in cpu overclocking because i don't have any practical experience. My current board is a vanilla one so overclocking isn't possible on it.

Refer this guide by tkin & mukherjee. You will definitely benefit from it.

Thanks vicky for your help

I have no idea about this, but how many times you really need to apply the TIM? And why?

With so much dust in india, you need to clean the cabby and the cooler once every 3-4 months. Else it will clog up.

 

[Skud]

OK, got it. Will keep a check.

I'd say go for the Black version, looks cooler. Get Venemous X or the Noctua one as suggested by others. If these are not available then TRUE Black is good too but you have to buy socket 1156 brackets (compatible with 1155 socket too) separately. That will set you back by 300-400 bucks.

Get Scythe Kaze ultra fan in case you get Venemous X, but you will need a controller to tone down the RPM. Otherwise look for a fan with good static pressure because that's what is more important for CPU heatsink heat dissipation.

If you are planning to get Venomous X then pair it with CM R4's won't go wrong with those fans.

I have used these pairs & completely satisfied with them....

Thermalright Venomous X - 3.7k @theitwares

CM R4 pair - INR 800 [400 each]

 

[Skud]

Way over OP's budget.

So 3.7+0.8=4.5k, at that range noctua D14 will eat it alive.

The only option if he can't wait for Noctua to be available.

 

[mukherjee]

yes


erm...6870 is back....the 650 watter was bad...so got the GPU checked too...
and got the 1200w......need a high power PSu for subzero....

BTW...the 5450 i have is an collectors item....got 2GB DDr3

will post pics if you guys want....

Please invite me too for the sub zero coolathon

And yea,pics please

So 3.7+0.8=4.5k, at that range noctua D14 will eat it alive.

Thats right.

@tenida/amartya

Its difficult to beat the D14 at its price...also U12P was the sweet spot..too bad tkin gobbled it up

With a 2600K and a HDT cooler like the 212+...its a bit edgy...the V6GT should do the job imho..but it'll be a little louder and hotter than the U12P...(V6GT uses 2xExtraflo type fans @2000rpm to get the performance,while the U12P manages it with 2xP12 fans @1300rpm )

Take ur pick...If u want something right now and locally...get the V6GT...or else,D14 all the way
