Posted December 31, 2013 Asus direct cu II or MSi Twin frozr are imo the best coolers in terms of noise and temps. but gigabyte has good coolers too. i5 3570 | MSI GD-65 Gaming | OCZ Vertex 60gb ssd | WD Green 1TB HDD | NZXT Phantom | TP-Link Wifi card | H100 | 5850 “I snort instant coffee because it’s easier on my nose than cocaine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 31, 2013 Gigabyte Windforce 780 Asus Direct CUII 780 MSI Twin Frozer Gaming 780 Any of those are great options. Beyond that you are picking a the color you want and playing the silicon lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 31, 2013 Asus DUCII or MSI's Tri Frozr would be the best coolers. If the Tri Frozr is too big to for the twin Frozr. Quote me to get a reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 31, 2013 The Asus DCUII, Msi twin forzer 2, gigabytes windforce3, and evga's acx are all good. Just get whichever looks better to you. I personally like the ACX best.

Posted December 31, 2013 If you like the Gigabyte, go for it. Aftermarket coolers are mostly determined by personal tastes. If you regard my facts as wrong, feel free to rectify it. —————————————————————————— If you regard my opinions as wrong, feel free to ignore it.

Posted December 31, 2013 I'd say DCu2 because it looks sleek and is fairly quiet. The Twin Frozr can get really noise when turned up to 60% and higher. I can't say anything about the Windforce and ACX however. 144Hz goodness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
