XarBat Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Anyone tried combining coolers? Like puting that Corsair Hydro series copper cylinder on top of another heatsink.
topdog Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) The most that usually happens is swapping fans with coolers, and even then the results can be mixed rather than improved as some had presumed. Some combinations just don't work well. Thumbs up for the NH-D14 here too by the way, not only brilliant performance, but astoundingly (literally 'is my PC actually on?') quiet without having to sacrifice performance by voltage throttling the fans. Money well spent and I might be replacing the cooler in my other case with one just to shut it up. I actually let one fan be controlled by the mobo so it does get throttled down, but even when I ramp both up to normal levels, anything more than a foot away from the PC case and I can't hear it anymore.
