Anyone try these heat sinks? Saw them here at my local computer store
 
Haven't tried 'em myself...but a few ppl I know that have said they've been working out for them fairly well...not THE strongest cooler out there, but still does a fairly respectable job.
 
I've got the Socket 478 version and have been very happy with it. Dropped 12 degrees Celsius off of my load temps from my Zalman 7000AlCu, and it's quieter at 12volts than the Zalman was at 7volts.

Last night I turned my case fans off to check something, and forgot to turn them back on. My CPU only got up to 44C while gaming when I went back to desktop and realized my fans were off. :D

P.S.
It's within 2-3 degrees C of the XP-90 when the XP-90 has a much higher CFM and louder fan. It's almost inaudible if you put your head next to it with your case fans off even. Believe me, I checked. lol

My ATi Silencer is louder than it is, I think. Either way my system is pretty quiet.

Hm. I've got a Thermalright AX-478 + Tornado-style 80mm fan... I think I'm going to try one of these coolers.. I'm SO sick of all my noise. I used to WC, but I'm not home enough to feel comfortable with it anymore.

Also-- What card do you have the silencer on? Does it perform better than stock cooling?

Thanks.
 
I am using that cooler right now. Its awesome and way better and infact quieter than the zalman 7000/7700.
 
Maybe I should give it a try...the other option was an XP-90C /w a 92mm Panaflo M1A...hmm...

only +/- 2c from the 7700-cu......
 
I find this cooler better than the 7700 i was running on the cpu before. The first thing i noticed was how much quieter the arctic freezer is.

First thing I actually noticed with my 7700 is how much more audible it is compared to my 7000ALCU I had sitting next to it. I expected a little more noise, but I could hear it over the rest of my system.

I'm not to concerned about noise, so I'll most likely still end up with an XP-90C and a 92mm Panalfo M1A for my high-end air cooling (when I'm not benching /w dryice)...still haven't seen much better.

i've GOT water, i'm just too paranoid, with as little as i've been home lately, to allow it to be running 24/7, like my box is.. lol

it's never leaked, but i don't wanna come home to a puddle and a room full of smoke.
 
Wow thanks for all the replies... I would go water but the wife has me by the BAWLS since we are renovating the house nothing was supposed to go to any computer equipment... And I know I can sneak this one in without notice.

Definitely - much lighter, much quieter, a much better heatsink finish, and you're not funding Thermaltake's marketing team...
 
Holy $HIT My Girl Robot.....not to be offtopic.....but if that 25 line monstrosity is your sig.....you're WAY over the limit....max is 10 lines bro. :eek:
 
alright, now i just gotta find a place that has it in stock, cause xoxide doesn't and newegg didn't last time i checked.

Brandon

edit: just found it at jab-tech for 29 bucks, that a lot cheaper than what xoxide had it at, and newegg.!!!
