current best air coolers

Its like a compact version of the TRUE Rev 4. The cooler was too wide, and was outperformed by PA120SE. I still have it, but literally only used it for 30 minutes lol.
 
I am looking for one that can add bit of aesthetic with color and LCD. Off course performance always comes first
 
had an big "oh fuck" moment today with a massive water cooling leak. so im back on air and finally got around to using my ps120 and im pretty impressed. its no louder or hotter than my 360 loop, though that did include the gpu.

yup. finally got around to swapping in a new mobo i bought in the spring and took the gpu section out of the loop, nothing fancy. i had to replace some fluid that was lost and was just topping it up when i saw a waterfall coming from the cpu block. yanked the power and started praying and cleaning. everything seems fine, thankfully. do idea why it decided to leak but im gonna run on air for a bit now....
this air cooler is quite impressive, tr keeps surprising me. a $40 cooler performing like $200 worth of custom loop...

Any difference between these 2 coolers other than the 20mm size?

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital​

vs the​

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 Digital​

???​

I'm thinking about ordering one but not sure which one is better?​


I'm thinking the 120 is better because it has better static pressure for the cooler perhaps? and better clearance for the ram maybe? The 120 is is the much more popular choice it seems.

yea other than the specs though i feel like people are ordering the 120 because it performs better? and yes of course it fits easier also but i'm not worried about the size i like big ass air coolers lol but would rather go for the 120 if it performs just as good.

i dont remember exactly, but they are very very close. there are charts with the non-digitals in here somewhere...
 
Probably the main difference is the height of the cooler and fans along with the 140mm fans will spin slower thus make less noise.

I bought a Montech Air 903 MAX case for a build at work. Liked it so much, ended up buying one for a build for my son. If you don't want RGB fans then the Air 903 is an even better deal. Can't beat the price/value of them especially when on sale, which is often.
