Hey guys. I know a lot of you are looking for this cooler, and well i have to say keep looking!
This thing brought my load temps at 2.8ghz from 58C to 43C! No thats not a typo, i had it running Orthos JUST before replacing it, same room, same temp. Amazing! Though i DO have to state that this thing is not "nearly quiet" at full speed. Its in fact very very noticeable. Oh well though, i can live with that kind of performance! The only thing limiting my overclock was temps, 3.5ghz here i come baby!
 
I had the same experience with mine, got it for like 20 bucks too.

Only thing I'd take over that is the new Scythe. Atleast, ruling water out.
 
ya that's what I'm afraid of is the noise. I'd be all over it if it had a 120mm fan that you could easily replace. The problem with the other heatsinks out there is that they are so massive, that you would have to take the mobo out of the case just to put it in, even if they have intel's special snap in clips. sigh... I want a good, quiet heatsink where I don't have to remove my mobo. though I guess it should be more quiet than the stock heatsink.
 
weird. maybe my unit was different (weaker/defective or better;)). mine spinned at 1700rpm max iirc via a molex adapter that sent the rpm sense to the motherboard. was pretty quiet. I remember the vf900 being loads louder

I have the AC and it's quiet as long as you control the fan speed. Full speed is about 2700 rpm if I remeber right and it's quite loud. I run mine at 1900 and don't notice the noise at all and I'm only losing 1-2 degrees with the lower fan speed.
 
Something is wrong my AC7...after I installed it my temperatures went up to 60c. They had been 55c before. I guess I'll try re-installing it with new paste instead of useing what came with it.
