CPU Cooler for AMD Phenom II X4 940

^Good idea that about table fan...

I am waiting for that purpose only. I'll give him about 10 days and also keeping a bit busy for the next 10 days. So, after 16th I'll hunt down a TRUE. If not I'll get Vendetta 2.

LOL about the hw r u... hehe!

Make sure TRUE fits inside your cabby with side panel closed as I had difficulties with Hyper 212 inside bijli cabby though I managed to cut a hole on the side panel with the help of my elder bro

Ya thats wat i told him first ! TRUE is bigger than HYPER212

Hey Tech ! also always keeping opened cabinet is not good , consider this !

TRUE 120 = L63.44 x W132 x H160.5 mm (heatsink only)
Vendetta 2 = (W)120 x (D)50 x (H)159mm (heatsink)

After rough scale measurements, I think both are going to overshoot the limit a bit.
damngoodman999 - why is it bad to keep the cabby open. Mine is almost always open...

^^dust.

a closed cabinet with a side fan is much better than open cabinet, unless you put a table fan next to open cabinet

Ah-ha... Looks like some case modding is due... Maybe I'll just have to do some panel cutting a-la topgear.

Whats ur cabby damngoodman999?

I was checking reviews and I had shortlisted (company wise)

Thermalright
Zalman
OCZ
Sunbeamtech
Xigmatech

I dunno about market reach of Zalman and Xigmatech.

Hyper 212 dimension :
112(W) x 92(D) x 160mm(H). So Hyper 212 falls between vendetta 2 and TRUE 120

So I had to cut a hole in my cabby's side panel. If you have better ventilation inside your cabby then it's always better to keep the side panels closed. It's even helps in reducing the temp ! Last year I was running my rig with side panel opened but from this year ( from jan ) I 'm using my rig with side panel closed.

When I touch my cabby I could feel very little heat but last year it was more hot

I use zebronics reaper !

i use to open my side panel so that 5deg reduce , but dust is big problem

It seems, I'll have to do some case mods in order to have decent cooling. The 90mm coolers are not an option for me. I'll handle the dust. Will clean regularly. Gotta be prepared for some hardwork...
