A quick CPU cooler praise!

JrRacinFan · Jan 28, 2009, 05:38 PM

Just wanted to praise 3rd party coolers!

Just got in an Akasa EVO 120, and all I got to say is wow! My second time running aftermarket and so much better than stock. Able to get my cpu more stable at a higher voltage, less stuttering in games (while overclocked), and able to use less voltage at higher clocks.

So in basics I want to thank Cold Storm especially and all of the people(list is too damn long) who had pretty much kept bugging me to switch out from stock.

Thank You!

About time. Those low-profile stock coolers suck.

JrRacinFan · Jan 28, 2009, 05:52 PM

Exactly! Although I had one of the "thicker" stock HSF's, I still must say I am very pleased!
