Cooler Master V10 vs. Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366?

Hey,

What do you all think about these two coolers?

I will be getting one of these two to cool my Core i7 920 as these are the best of the best from what I've seen.

So now that that it's down to these two, what do you think?

Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme-1366

Cooler Master V10

Thanks!

The v10 is better, but the question is do you want a tank on your cpu? I have the TRUE 120 with 2 fans on it, it's amazing, however the v10 is marginally better I hear. Is it worth the price difference? Not really, but it sure has some nice bling to it.JigglyWiggly_

From what I underestand...

Please note that the TRUE we tested is a couple of years old now and at that time did not ship with a fan. For our testing today we are using a Panaflo FBA12G12M. It is rated at 35.5 dBA and 85.5 CFM. With the introduction of the 1366 TRUE, Thermalright is shipping a fan with the heatsink that is 7.5 dBA quieter and 21.8 CFM lower.

I don't see why the V10 would be better on another processor...

Edit : here is why

Our second graph is of our Core i7 920 system. As many of you know the Core i7 C0 stepping runs very warm when overclocked above 3.2GHz and especially when over volted. In a stunning turn around, the Cooler Master V10 handily fends off the TRUE in this test.

It should be noted that many enthusiasts have gotten better results after sanding and polishing (lapping) the base of their TRUE. Some say that the base of their cooler is slightly concave, which in this case would mean that there would be greater pressure on the outer edges of the base. In an MCM CPU configuration such as the Core 2 Quad this may give it an advantage. The Core i7 however has a single die in the center of the package, so if the base of the TRUE is concave it could leave some room for improvement from lapping. At this point it is speculation. We ran all of our tests several times with different mounts and each was within 1 degree.

It's not too bad I guess, but a high price tag for not much difference in cooling compared to some cheaper coolers.

EDIT: And from what I've read around here and there, cooling really depends on on the thermal grease used, how you use it and if you're lapping it or not. ;)

From what i have heard v10 needs alot of heat in order for it to work better

Well I was planning on overclock my Core i7 920 to 3.8-4.0 GHz

I'll have a HAF 932 case and probably will get a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme with an extra fan so I have two fans.

Will that be enough to overclock to 3.8 to 4.0 GHz?

Oh and I also have this ram: OCZ Gold 6gb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365&Tpk=OCZ3G1600LV6GK

Thanks!
