It's VERY close, and MUCH cheaper. So yes.

Why oh why oh why are Swiftech products not sold in the UK? If a rep is reading this, do you realise there are hundreds if not thousands of people here desperate to buy your products? Do you not want our money?? :wacko:

Yeah I did see that review. Thing is, the Nepton can be bought for £35-40 less than the X61 here in the UK (that's $55-65 in the US of A), so it's a struggle to perhaps see justification for the extra cost.

OK, thank you. I am also looking at the Coolermaster Nepton 240M. The Silencio fans on that have an SP of 4.8 mm H2O, which is very impressive. Quiet also. Not to mention being significantly cheaper than the X61.2ONo

Thanks. So putting the rad up top isn't an issue what with it being somewhat of a choke point for air? Would the X61 in the roof be intake or exhaust? Given the X41 is a close performer to the X61, someone else had told me that given the rear is more unrestricted, they would kind of even out. It seems you'd need to change the fans on the X61 to get the most out of it, as the static pressure of the stock ones could be better. What are the solutions for filters?

I am in a headspin about my CPU cooler choice. I back and forth deciding on either an NZXT X41 at rear, or X61 up top. Which would be best and why? If I went X41 at rear (exhaust) I'd have x3 high SP fans up top as exhaust, and x3 up front as intake. If I went X61 up top, I'm guessing that would be intake?? I don't know. Front still intake of course, and rear exhaust? I am happy to change fans on either of these if it will improve performance. Aghh, this is all so very confusing lol! My head hurts. :wacko:

And those fans would be...? Or is it a secret?

I'd appreciate some advice based on what I'm planning on doing with my H440. I have come across the AKASA PIRANHA fan which seems a great all rounder with high static pressure and air flow, so I was thinking of putting x3 of these up front as intake, and another x3 up top as exhaust. I would use the NZXT Kraken X41 rear mounted, also as exhaust. How does that all sound? I was initially thinking to put a 240 AIO up top, but it seems to be a choke point for air, so the 140 at the back seems a good compromise... and the X41 is great performer by most accounts. I will have an i7 4790K, 16GB RAM, x2 SSD's mounted on the visible platforms, with another 2-3 mechanical HD'S, plus a 970 GPU... probably reference cooler, but I am still unsure about that and if it's necessary over a third party cooler. Appreciate any advice on that also. I don't really intend on going SLI anytime in the near future.
