So do you think that if the fan is mounted on the inside it wont fit? I have 4cm to play with only!

 

[Tatty_Two]

OK, I am gonna edge my bets and go for this baby which is slightly smaller (by 2cm) and supposed to be equally as good, this again is supposed to be in the best 3 air coolers on the market at the moment which includes a Zerotherm and the Thermalright Inferno so this should do nicely!

Just get a Antec 900.
Yeah i know i have it and so do a million others. But it has an exceptional airflow when mounting 2 silent 120mm fans at the front.
+ you have a option to fit a 120mm fan at the side and you also have the huge fan on the top.

A few days back i set all the fans at high and suddenly my cat was sucked into the front intake fan. That is what i call suction.

Lol but the 900 is actually smaller than the case I was considering. Anyways as I said, the enzotech is equal to the thermalright so no loss really.

It's not going to fit i bet. The ultra extreme won't fit in mine and it is 1 mm smaller and our cases are the same size, with similar fans

Tatty I have it and you won't like it on a quad, it's great for a dual core, but on my Q6600 it hits 80c after about 30 minutes of prime at 3.6ghz and would shut down. It would let me bench at 4.0ghz but after a while it gets super hot. Get this one http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/thulforinso7.html it's what I have it and will fit for sure, use the 92mm clips and run them in dual fan mode you can order extra. http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3068&p=1 here is a review on it. It is basically a smaller version of a Ultra extreme.

Tatty the enzotech is not a match at all for either the Ultra extreme or the ultima 90 at higher voltages . It looks super cool and works well up to I would say 1.42v but nothing higher. I have had all three the ultima extreme , Enzotech, and ultima 90 I can tell you for sure it is not even close on a quad.

I dont think you are talking about the Enzotech I posted above? its just about the best there is????

I have it tatty yes I am. It is in the ultima 90 review read it. It is going on my father inlaws dual core but it not for extreme quad overclocking , it's not.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Right I see, so you really think it's better than the enzo??/ I have just read 2 revires where the enzo wipes the floor with the Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme???

 

[Tatty_Two]

I am baffled now as to what to get?.......take a look at this, on a Quad overclocked to 3.3Gig the Enzotech here beats all coolers...............

I can tell you without a doubt it won't wipe the floor with a Ultra extreme, noway, no how, not even close.

I posted the same question you just asked and didn't believe it myself until I installed it.

I read that review aswell it is b.s

I do realize this is a dual core chip but that gap gets bigger with a quad

Tom, I will take your advice if you say the enzotech isnt all it's made up to be, this is the other cooler I mentioned which is supposed to be at least 10% better than the Zerotherm BTF90 shown in your pic, this is the Zerotherm Nirvana NV120, again have read 2 reviews showing it's consistent performance above the Ultra 120 extreme.................................Take a look here:

Thats a good cooler but it might not fit because my ultima 90 with a 120mm fan stand about 150mm and hit's the side fan just barely. It might fit but it will be a sqeaker. i almost bought that cooler myself and once again there is no way it will beat a Ultra extreme with 2 120mm fans. Plus at 100 percent that cooler is loud as hell. Still it is very good and looks cool aswell.

the Antec P182 would have been a far better solution than the 900, not to knock your choice but the 900 is errr, hmm garbage in my opinion

Lol, just before you posted this I decided to go for the safe bet, I am going to get the ulta extreme, looking at that chart you posted . it was the only air cooler that could take that CPU to the max, I assume you approve?

Here is a good comparison a tuniq tower performs about 3 degrees worse than a thermalright ultra extreme 120 and it beats the Zer. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/zerotherm_nirvana_review/5.htm


Here is a review with it against a Thermalright non extreme 120( 4 heatpipes not 6 like the Ultra extreme 120) and it loses here too. http://www.pro-clockers.com/review.php?id=268&page=4


in this one the Ultra Extreme beats it as does the Ultra 90 the 4 heatpipe version of my heatsink the Ultima 90 http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2225

No get the Ultima 90, the Extreme will not fit either it is 160 mm, unless you want to remove your side fan. The ultra extreme will fit in a Antec p900 because there is no side fan, atleast it is reported to. It is a great case, not as good as the one you bought but very near.

Read this review. The Ultima 90 is not as good as the Ultra extreme but it will fit and with a 350mm fan blowing on it it will come close real close. Also who knows maybe the 120 fan will fit and then it almost matches a ultra extreme 120. It comes with both 92mm clips and 120mm clips.

http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3068&p=1 Also anantech give non bias reviews for the most part.

 

[Tatty_Two]

I'll just get a wider Case!, you have convinced me,at least on the Ultra Extreme, now I nee to find a case thats either does not have a 250mm side fan or does but is at least 220mm wide.

If you get a wider case get the IFX-14 Inferno Fire eXtinguisher with HR-10 cooler , you were gonna get or the Ultra extreme. Get this case Tatty it's 10.5 inches wide. It is really really good. FYI without the side fan a Ultra Extreme fits in a 8.3 inch case just barely . I know this because it fit in my Antec p160

Thats very nice but I am going to go for the Antec P182, it's plain but sleek, big, soundproofed and has five built in 120mm fans, it should have no trouble fitting the extreme, I dont like them too flash anyways!

Well this case I listed is much bigger and will fit anything you will ever need in it.

I can see that! it looks huge, I have limits to space in my study, damn I would need to hire a van to tranpot the thing, looks nice though. The Antec P182 is a good solid performer (if a little boring) and will manage the Extreme, I am glad I didnt get that Enzotech......thanks!
