I have problem deciding which brand to get? HIS is selling for AUSD495 and Asus for AUSD540, know both are reference coolers but Asus has the Voltage Tweak software included but not sure the extra 40 is worth it. But I like the look for Asus as it looks sleek with its minimalistic look and it matches my Asus components.

I am currently living in Australia. Today I just installed Borderlands. While I was half way playing my pc shutdown all of sudden, and when I tried powering up, nothing appears on screen and I checked that my gpu(4890) was making alot of noise ( The kind of noise when you power up the com but this last as long as I on the com.
