Well they make decent quality cases at affordable prices w/ more freebies than their competitors. Not sure kung PH company sila since global company ang Tecware but I'm assuming na either SG or MLY company sila since may close ties sila sa UK (PH/SG/MLY/UK at nakalimutan ko yung isang office nila kung saan).
I really thought they were a local brand for some reason.
Have any of you tried ordering coolers from abroad? How'd you guys get them to the Philippines?
in terms of installation kasing dali din ba sila also baket 224 not 225 xt ?
I rarely have problems installing HSF sa mobo so I can't really say. Pinakamahirap na siguro yung NDH15 sa isang ATX case dahil sa size.
Yeah actually okay din yung SE225XT but since ang konti pa ng reviews sa kanya, for now mukhang yung SE224XT will perform the same or out perform it given the same fan setup depende sa processor na ginamit. That is why yung SE224XT at yung XF-12025-SD-K 5 pack fans looks tempting.
The only reason why I haven't switched yet ng HSF is I love yung itsura and I find the performance ng stock AMD Wraith Prism really good para sa OC'd R5-1600 ko. (But I am using a mix of ID Cooling XF and Scythe Gentle Typhoon fans sa dating AIO ko)

Haven't bought a cooler from abroad since marami naman choices sa market natin. But I did win a contest ng DeepCool dati, I think I am the first owner ng DeepCool Gamer Storm sa SEA (or baka sa lahat ng market since promo release yun ng Gamer Storm).
But nakaorder narin ako sa Aliexpress/Alibaba, yung process is the same lang din ng Lazada at Shoppee. Sa Massdrop/Drop naman sa Philpost idadaan kaya dun pa sa local post office ko sya kinukuha.
nakita ko problema wala ako makita mura na se 224xt nasa 1.8k php na close na sa 225 xt nman tapos ka presyo naaman ng arctic 34 duo
Yeah nagtataasan narin ang prices ng ibang coolers, nasa 1.3k lang dati yan eh tapos yung White version naman nasa 1.4k parin naman ngayon. If you don't mind the LED, yung Deepcool Gammaxx 400 Pro is a great option din.
i'm in the process of upgrading my cpu from phenom II 550 be (unlocked to 4 cores) to fx-8350. matagal na ito nakatambak ngayon lang may oras magbaklas ng pc. i'm not sure kung kaya ng scythe mugen 2 ang 8-core cpu. tried to look for reviews and the best info i got was 130w rated ang hsf na ito. sa specs 125w daw tdp ni 8350 but some say it reaches 160w.
assuming the answer to my above question is hindi kaya, then palit hsf. for my corsair 300r case kaya hanggang 165mm height (170mm sabi ng spec sheet but i'm doubtful kasi clearly nasa mga 167 lang based on actual measurement and comparison with the existing mugen 2) so i'm considering noctua nh-u14s. but i'm open to suggestions as long as hindi sobrang laki. was initially considering nh-c14s para may airflow sa vrm (high temp, sakit ng 990fx board) but it's a bit expensive kaya plano ko tower hsf pa rin then magdikit na lang ng 2x 40mm fans sa vrm heatsink.

law_handyman , try to look for any of the AM2-AM3 hsf that are available locally.... I still have my XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1483 installed in my soon to be replaced faulty asrock 990fx AM3 mobo.
I might opt to replace that with my sunbeamtech core contact freezer 120 then just use one of my 4 wire DELTA fans as a cpu fan. either way I will have a spare hsf.... the differencet between the two is that the xigmatek installs horizontal, sometimes impeding the installation of the ram while the sunbeamtech installs vertically.
@law_handyman
Jonsbo CR 301 @999 Php clearance sale from PCH*b.
Expect near NH-L12S performance(based sa placement ng heatpipes hindi lahat ng nasa middle ng cold plate nakaconnect sa mas malaking fin stack) pero may mount siya for push/pull config ng 120x25mm fans.
I'm planning to get the se224xt for my ryzen 5 3600. May mga complaints ka ba sa kanya? Is there a difference between the fan performance between the white one vs the rgb one?
@lordseph:
late reply... as other have said... no complaints on it... for fan performance... not sure but i have used the stock fan (mine is the old rgb edition.) and added back then another id colling xf-12025-rgb fan for push pull config... after that palit ako aio... then nung nasiraan ako ng aio at ginamit ko ulit pansamantagal hanggang mapalitan ng another aio... have tried single noctua nf-f12 fan and push-pull ng arctic p12 pwm pst co... performance is great... and tinanggal ko na rin yung rgb sa top hehehe...
Some newly discovered AIO's na pwedeng i-bottom mount without pump location issues:
ID-Cooling Iceflow Series: <click here for link>
InWin BR Series(de-coupled pump like BQ Pure Loop series, to be released): https://estore.in-win.com/en-EU/cooling/br24
Aigo AT series(de-coupled pump like BQ Pure Loop series, available na sa local online platforms):<click here for link>
As per product listing sa DynaQ*est and Noctua <click here for link> compatible in dual fan mode pero saktong sakto 165mm basta 32mm or shorter ung RAM mo.
^Todo kasi yung mga teasers nila tapos fan lang pala lol. At least naunahan nila yung release ng Chromax NF-A12x25. Yung Scythe Wonder Snail natapatan na sa heatsink yung Noctua pero talo parin sa rad performance.
Siguro yung mga upcoming coolers nalang ng Cooler Master for LGA 1700 ang pwedeng abangan this year. Hyper Series, 6 heatpipes , larger base, brushed aluminum top, 158mm height:
Hyper H6 ARGB: <click here for link>
HYPER H6DT ARGB: <click here for link>
^ If you want better performance & LGA 1700 support wait for Scythe Mugen 5 S:
May performance loss din sa pag-paint nila ng black sa Mugen 5 kaya siguro nagdecide sila na unpainted version yung irerelease with Wonder Snail later this year:
There will also be updated designs for Arctic Freezer 34 & 50 later this year.
@MrBungle
Sayang inabutan narin pati yung NF-A12x25 nila sa performance ng Phanteks & Scythe.
Baka lalo silang matalo for LGA 1700 & AM5, maglalabas yung ibang manufacturers ng coolers na mas malaki yung base plate pero stuck parin yung Noctua sa design na para sa smaller IHS ng Intel. Q2 2022 pa yung update nila sa NH-D15 kaya mauunahan sila ng competitors for LGA 1700.
Sa warranty & customer service talaga advantage nila ngayon, walang hassle kung may balak kang magupgrade sa Alder Lake this year.
