VF700cu or V7 Fatal1ty?

[WesM63]

I'm placing an order at SVC today to spice things up for my new VC and CPU. I was planning on ordering just the VF700cu, then i saw the fatal1ty cooler. Looks exactly the same but the fan seems to spin faster (2,650 vs 3,500). Usually more CFM.

Has anyone tried the fatal1ty or would I be better off just getting the VF700cu?

For the CPU, TT BT till my prommie gets back. (hehe i'm mounting a 150cfm 120mm fan on it :D )

With the faster fan you might get a whole 1° difference in temps. You're paying for a name and pretty lights. Performance wise you might be disappointed for what you get spending the extra $15. I've been looking for some kind of review which shows the differences between the two but so far I've been unsuccesful. I have the regular Copper VF700 and I couldn't be happier.

Couldn't agree more, Its more of a marketing strategy than a performance boost. I'll be getting my VF700 possibly today or tommarow :D. Will post results.

Thanks guys! I assumed the same, all marketing and maybe a slight diffrence but not enough to warrant the extra money.

I also searched for reviews, but nothing that showed temps vs the VF700.

Looks like just the VF700cu for me :)

Yeah, I have it, temps on my stock were 35/60, with this its 30/55..... and im OCed past PE speeds.
