Have now in conjunction with Silent Wings 2 also from Be Quiet a whole new housing equipped with my old components:
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz @
MSI MPower Z77 motherboard
8GB Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
ASUS GTX660Ti
Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 CM
The system cools slightly better than my old Thermaltake Frio, the volume development, however (42 decibels) dropped dramatically compared to the Frio. According to the manufacturer about 25 decibels at full load.
Idle temperature: 29-33 ° C
Full load temperature: 50-60 ° C
The CPU cooler is high-quality, has 7 heatpipes and looks very Chick from.
Problems I had during installation. On the one hand Fit the backplate not had to cut the foam on the backplate and the mounting itself is a disaster.
Since one of the front end with a wrench hex must keep nuts and tighten at the back at the same time with the screwdriver takes about 5 hands or a motherboard which is not immediately broken. It was very difficult between the heatpipes and the Ram ranzukommen ever with the wrench.
Had I known that before I would have probably taken a different model because that cost many nerve-wracking hours myself.
Conclusion:
Top CPU cooler the next best should then already be an extensible water cooling. Whisper quiet and brutal cooling capacity.
One star deduction because of the difficult assembly.
