Gunning on the MSI Twin Frozr being the best myself.
'Best' being best balance between cooling and noise...![]()
I'm glad they managed to control the heat more with 3rd party coolers. I remember reading the stock reviews and doing a double take on some of the temps.
I can't understand the fan they've put on it.......
It's a dust proof fan.....okay, but with fins that size, I'm surprised it's actually doing much cooling (on the uber mode).
Seems like it could have been designed better (maybe sticking a slightly longer pcb with 3 fans).
