Hi guys , first post in this forum.

Running a PH x4 955 @ 3.8 .. temps are keeping my OC back , and better temps over everything else. Have a 922 cabinet with plenty of fans ... so..
Now I'm fed up with my 212+ and am strapped for cash. 'Gifting' it to my bro.:clap:
Need to get myself a new cooler- But before that happens, need some advice.

Coolers in my crosshairs :

212+ again
( am I foolish) - the old cooler isn't as great as advertised, despite perfect knowledge on TIM application and all- for all you know the heatpipes are not up to the mark?
n620 -- Why not ? the surface is a mirror finish and it has more heatpipes, albeit a low surface area..Am going to sump the stock fans from R4's
V6GT -- getting to be out of budget , and AFAIK, New delhi is OUT OF STOCK :)
v8 -- why bother ?
Any other cooler that'll cost me <4K in Delhi , do let me know , am leaving for Nehru Place in a few hours :)
Leaving towards a TRUE or some other HIGH density large surface area cooler that could do with a couple of R4's .. Even though I know they have low static pressure.. but where does one get one ?

Please do let me know if I could possibly use you as a referral and/or avail a discount :) Am pally with Gurmeet, but he IS fleecing me now-- the same stuff is available at Vipul ( I think that's his name) for a lot less..:@
 
I got a lot better temperatures with N620 after I upgraded from Hyper 212+. Managed to clock i7 860 at 4.2 Ghz without much effort. Didnt try further since I was just 5 Deg away from throttle. But Hyper 212+ got heated at 3.6 Ghz.
 
nh-u12p anyone?would have been out of budget anyways.congrats on your purchase and yeah everyone missed your post i guess.hows the v6gt ?i also need a new cooler so ....

The V6GT is keeping things under55C on P95 , the hyper 212+ kept it at about 55-56C

However, the S&M is burning the CPU like there's no tomorrow!! That thing is pulling 5C more than P95 !! A BIG achievement , and it individually stresses cores , memory and other stuff..
This is the real deal ..
 
WTH !! My post didn't go through!!!

Well , here so :/

Lapped my processor , here are the pics ..
From a hyper 212+ .. .to a V6gt ( fan's on half speed anyway )
Full p95 load temps : 50C (55`56C before)

Anyway .. have fun !!
The post very specifically mentioned Delhi ..
Gurmeet was fleecing me !! Quoted 4300 for it ! I got it off Vipin (or Vipul , whatever his name is ) for 3750!!!

hmm..
Even the HD202 was for 1900 with gurmeet and I got it off the same guy for 1650!

know any other mention - worthy shops in NP >??
