good day.


Atm, I have TT Volcano9+ as a CPU cooling unit, but it holds my CPU @ 64C idle, though its on 2800rpm (max is 5400rpm -> F16 Falcon takeoff). I am looking for something that will cool my CPU better, @least 50C. I also want a quiet pc. Volcano9+ on 2800rpm is almost unhearable, but cools shit on those low rpm's.

Do you have any suggestions? 7000AlCu Zalman doesnt fit on my mobo :(

I was looking @ this also, anyone have any experience with this or heard any rumors howmuch is good (or sux?)?

You can put a 80 or 92mm fan on it.

CPU is AXP 2500+ @ 3200+

My questions are too much superior for your little minds, i guess? :D

Okey, really noone knows? :(
 
That's one of the best Socket A heatsinks ever made. Just make sure your board is compatible by checking thermalright's website and you should be good to go.
 
I have the SI-97 with a 92mm Nexus on top volted down to 7v on my Barton 2500+ (at 2500+). Idle at about 40C and peak at about 50-52C. It's very, very quiet. Noisiest part of my computer are the hard drives.

Would it be big difference, if having a fan on SI-97 or having no fan on it?

It is meant to have a fan on it. If you don't want much nose use a Panaflo.
 
Hm, I though that is your decision wether to put a fan on or not. Yes, temps would be bigger without a fan, though in pc store when I watched this product, it just said "possible instalation of a 80 or 92mm fan". Possible, which I though its not necessery?
 
if you want passive get a zalman flower...gonna run fairly hot tho
