Samuel 17 vs Kuhler 620

[JustAPerson]

First off, I apologise if this is in the wrong section.

I'm basically trying to get an idea of how effective each will be against each other.

• Samuel 17 with a 2600RPM 120mm fan with 96CFM (which may or may not work well)
• Or an Antec Kuhler 620 in push pull configuration

The main issue here is my case is tiny (Sugo SG06) so airflow isn't fantastic.

Opinions are greatly appreciated. Noise is a non-issue.

If it helps I have a Kuhler 620 in push pull with scythe 1900 rpms (I think) in an SG05/2500k@4.4 1.4v my load temps are 51-53C on prime 95.

Mmm, I installed a Kuhler 620 on mine using the default fan and a Cooler Master Excalibur and I'm not impressed. Five minutes intp Prime 95 and temperatures are at about 54-57c on stock clocks. I will say I did mess up the installation a bit (Who can't, with the vague instructions) and had to pull off the heatsink after pushing it down onto my CPU, so that may be a factor. Also noticing some sudden drops in clock speed, wondering if the mobo is throttling the CPU.
