Be quiet dark rock 1 £33. Worth it?

brownninja97

So soon ill be getting a 4670k or most likely a 5670k depending on the money i make in the next few months, if this cooler worth the price considering it is pretty old now so should i just stay with the norm and get a hyper 212, on the other hand i could take the hyper 412 from the editing system, that thing is never overclocked so it doesnt matter.

 

Options:

 

Dark rock 1: £33

cm hyper 212: £25(i know its worse but im looking at bang for buck terms.)

cm hyper 412: nothing, maybe postage and packaging as im too lazy to walk 20 steps.

The dark rock one will be much better in performance but may no fit in your case.

That Dark Rock is a beast in cooling compared to the other 2. But since you can get the 412 with little to no cost at all,then why not? It will perform slightly better than the 212 and looks better imo.

Then Def go with the darkrock 1.

Its a beast in terms of cooling power and its made by BeQuiet! so you can expect it to be, well... Quiet.

sound is never a problem for me, my old pc had a 65mm fan, loud as fuck, afterthat i think i have hearing loss so sound doesnt affect me and i always have music on.

Lol fair enough I'm a bit the same but some people have it up their arse that silent is best so I thought I'd mention it.

(My current PC is in a 650D with stock fans and a HD6990.)

Lol its not so bad, but it gets VERY hot in the summer...

I have thought about watercooling but the cost out ways the benefits for me.

I know that once I have bought watercooling gear it isn't so bad the next time but that first time buy is expensive and I just can't justify it.
