this is much cheaper than that tec cpu cooler and probably works better after reading this review i might just have to get one as my arctic cooler isnt keeping my temps where i want them

btw there is a typo i think on the 2400/1.6v chart the scythe infinity has load on there twice

I have seen a comparison on these two.
It seems that the Thermalright Ultra 120 does better if you have a 120mm fan on it.
But if you dont then obv. the Noctua does better.

The 2 top air coolers are currently the Thermalright Ultra 120 and the Tuniq Tower(of course with one or two 120mm fan(s) on them)
