Looking @ CPU Sink Change

Hey All,

Thinking about the V10 or NOCTUA NH-U12P SE

Found a couple of nice reviews:

http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/cm_v10/

http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/noctua_nhu12p/

Kinda leaning towards the V10 ... just worried about wieght ... any thoughts?

Anyone droppped it into a 920 in Haf 932?

Not the v10.

The V8 from the same company is a better bet IMO, with similar performance, better aesthetics, less weight and size and 1/2 the price. People who have them swear by the nocturas also. For every review I've read saying the V10 is good, another 4 say it sucks.
PS, I'm not a coolermaster hater. I use one of their cases.

Consider V8, megahalems or TRUE

thanks for quick replies, was just looking for a change of "looks" but might just be better to leave the true in LOL

haha, I didn't read his sig. Got the TRUE already, why downgrade or sidegrade? If want better cooling H2O (or phase / other exotic) is only way up from there...
