Hi everybody.
I prefere tell you now, I'm french, so excuse my bad english ;).

I've currently the rad box with my 3000+ Venice (275*9 @ 1.45V), and I'd like to change for a better cooling, but I've got a price : max 40€ or 50$ if you prefere.

I hesitate between a Thermaltake BigTyphoon or a Scythe Ninja+ and the choice is hard.

The BT is in out-of-stock condition on the french websites.

My motherboard is an Asrock 939Dual Sata2, and I move my tower sometimes for lan.

If you have better cooler, don't hesitate, but remember my max price.

If the Big Typhoon is out of stock, go for the Ninja+, and vice versa... No need to wait for one or the other, they're too close to eachother in performance for that :)

Best Regards :toast:

I agree with above... they are so similiar it's not worth the wait for other. Just choose whichever is in stock.

I think I will take the Scythe Mine which is better tahn the Scythe Ninja in 12V.

What do you think ?

Mine and Ninja perform about the same. Mine is a newer design and has a superior mounting system for socket 775.

However I'd skip both of them and get an Infinity. I think it'll spank even the Tuniq Tower.

I've tested my Ninja and BT repeatedly, remounted, same ambients, same fans, and the Ninja consistently lags behind my BT by 4-5 degrees. I've concluded that my Ninja and BT are not equals.

That's just it though, you can look at reviews all day that say the BT and Ninja are roughly equals, or that one will outperform the other and then you do your own testing and find out that's not the case. You can buy two Ninja's or two BT's and I'd bet they will not perform equal to each other. I wonder if I just got a poor performing Ninja. Who knows.

Based on personal experience, I'd go BT.

TuniQ Tower : 50€ without transport.

I've found this graphic which is interesting.
I think I will buy a scythe Ninja better than the mine.
