Need a cabby and cpu cooler

[royal]

I am looking for a decent cabby around Rs 2k. Coolermaster elite 334 seems a good choice at this price. What do you guys suggest?

(I could have gone for CM 690 but I might have to move elsewhere after a few months and dont want to carry along the cabby with me )

Also suggest a cpu cooler for Rs 1k-1.5k (and a thermal compound to match)

The CoolerMaster Elite 334 is a good cabby. For the CPU cooler I heartily suggest that you spend some more money and opt for a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme which will cost you around Rs. 2,700 . Its a superb product and from my personal experience with it, I believe it would be best if you bundle it with a Scythe S-Flex SFF21F 1600RPM 120mm fan to have the coolest temperatures. For a thermal compound nothing comes close to Artic Silver which costs around 400 bucks .

Actually, the Arctic MX-2 is much better than Arctic Silver - being non conducting too! And its also some 400 bucks so get the over silver. Cooler, you can get the thermal Right Ultima90I, the Ultra Extreme will not fit in the elite 330 I think. the Antibiotic from Zebronics will also be a good choice.

I have heard good words for the Ultra 120. Whats the cost of Scythe fan?

Are you sure about the Ultra not fitting the cabby? And no Zebronics please

Yes me also read that with TRU-120 installed, the side panel of elite 330 can't be closed. BTW, if you are getting a dual core then Ultima 90 would be a better choice with elite 330 but it is not sufficient for quad core.

As for the thermal paste, MX-2 gives better performance than Arctic silver, I have used both of them.

Go for Zebronics Peace, am using it and i say its very good

Zeb peace is a good cabby but still not suitable for highend configuration and specially not for overclocking freaks
I have had the peace cabby n also the antibiotic but both of them don't even come close to CM690 in terms of space, cable management, air flow, modding and its water cooling ready.

Are cooler master elite 330s a decent buy too? ill be installing a fan for the vga so i hope there are no space issues with that. i can live without the aesthetics.

I think TRU-120 will fit into the Elite cabinet's only thing u need to do is remove that chimney which is in the side panel of the Cabinet.

I once had removed the Chimney and fixed a 80mm fan as intake, later put back the chimney and fixed the 80mm fan to the lower holes present in the Cabinet side.

This week end will go and get a CPU Cooler to my proccy..

[john_the_ultimate]

Maybe removing the chimney thingy could solve the problem. So better take a measuring tape while buying the cabby

[royal]

Well all the time I was assuming that the chimney will not be there In fact I have a plan to remove the chimney and cut a 120mm hole in its place to fit a bigger fan. With three 120 mm fans(front/back/side) and an intake fan at the bottom of the PSU(VX 450) the elite should prove to be a good cabby

BTW, I am getting Elite334 for Rs 1705 + shipping which should come around Rs 2100 and Artic Cooling MX-2 for Rs 320 from Lynx. Do you think its a good deal? And any idea about Amigo fans?

[john_the_ultimate]

You can get the elite 330 here in kolkata itself, you could save the shipping charges and overall cost price would be less. AC MX-2 is fine and no idea about amigo fans.
You could try primeabgb for the scythe fans, proven performance.

BTW, what do use to cut the 120mm hole?

[royal]

Well the lowest price that I could get for Elite 330(withoput SMPS) in Chandni was Rs 2600 + VAT And I am more interested in Elite 334 (looks like a mini version of 690 to me )

About cutting the hole...haven't figured it out yet But when there's a will there's a way (Like getting my Dell monitor ). I will keep you informed.

Sorry to disappoint you but I already bought Elite 334 for 2000/- Thanks for the offer, though. If you haven't done so already, put your offer in the Bazaar section.
