OP OP shan1784 In Runtime Messages 396 Location Michigan Jun 10, 2007 #4 I'm watching one now on an auction for roughly $30.00... Would it be worth it at that price? Will it help me get higher oc's?

Another good cooler for the money is the "Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX"....google it as I don't think newegg sell it.

Click to expand... I wouldnt buy a used one...you never know what kind of crap the previous owner could have done....more realistically, he may have used a crappy thermal paste...etc... there are alot of things that could be wrong with a used tower....IMO
