Zalman CNPS9700NT was no better that ACF7 in CPC Labs but 4 times the price...... Tuniq Tower was only unit (apart from Titan Amanda TTC-NP04TZ TEC cooler at £65) that was significantly better than the ACF7. At £65 I would have to be considering water.....??
If I get a Tuniq Tower, I would like to replace the stock 120 fan for an Artctic Cooling 120 PWM 4 pin fan.... if I can find anyone who sells them in UK. The ACF 7 92mm PWM 4 pin fan is not so noisy flat out, and silent at low speed.
