HSF? For Qpack

[amdmadman]

Will a XP-90 with a vantec torando fit in the Q-Pack. If not i need to know what is the biggest HSF that will fit in it

Thanks

Read the SFF FAQs....errr..this one might not be in there but it fits.

I think a Tornado is overkill unless you're doing crazy overclocking. If I were you I'd go for a Zalman 7000Cu or if you have a Biostar tForce the 7700Cu I believe fits. The Tornado probably won't fit because it is a pretty thick fan but it is just so noisy and annoying. Possibly the XP90 and like a thinner fan like a Panaflo.

You will be cutting that x-qpack to put in that setup

1 - smaller fan

2 - different heatsink (see Zalman)

3 - AMD Opteron Heatpipe heatsink is another good option.

Swiftech 6400-v with a 80mm fan looks promising

Yeah i guess the swifty is the best choice.

no, the AMD 4-heatpipe heatsink is better than all of the above. I can confirm this with personal experience. Don't go wasting your money.

in my wife's QPACK, I'm using a Dynatron BH-610 (seen here ). I stripped off the factory heatsink, installed the Akasa AK-M168-2 fan size adapter (seen here ), and then put a nice Arcitc Cooling 80mm fan that delivers just as much air flow at less than half the dBA (seen here )

Of course, YMMV, but this is running in my wife's rig and it's QUIET.

I'm using XP-90 for now. The fan is mounted using cable ties.
