Hooray!

[Fragmatic]

After a few months with high CPU temps, I got a new fan!

Looky! :D

I got a headache now, I think it's that Akasa TIM clean... but it smells soooooo nice :(

[Sputty]

Yay. Now, all you need is a fuzzy kitten to squeeze

:rofl:

I'm gonna get a thermaltake volcano 12 soon, then overclock my Athlon 3000+

[Fragmatic]

LOL :rofl:

You're gonna overclock with that fan and heatsink! Good Luck! :rofl:

[dscytherulez]

Um, a volcano 12 provides excellent cooling my friend...

[Rbstr]

my Cel is at 24 celsius right now. this Spark7+ is very nice, right now i can't even here it becasue i turned it down all the way scence i don't need it surfing Webpages

[dscytherulez]

Indeed. Thermaltake makes great cpu coolers. The volcano 12 does a better job at cooling then the spark 7, but they are both very good coolers :).

Edit: Spark 7 is quieter though.

[Rbstr]

the Volcano 12 is not a p4 cooler, so its hard to say.

They both have a fan controler don't they, yours should be the same volume as mine

[dscytherulez]

Volcano 12 boasts 20+ more cfm all around and is a bit bigger

Yes, but I've heard ALOT of bad things about Thermaltakes reliability (Says he with a Xaser 2, and a TT Smartfan 2 on his heatsink :rolleyes: )

Get yourself one of THESE (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-109-114&depa=0) and stick a good 120mm fan on it.
Bucketloads of airflow and quietness to boot.

[dscytherulez]

Volcano 12's are very reliable, and my stock fan sucks, so that heatsink wouldn't help as much as a new cpu fan.

[Fragmatic]

uh... the volcano 12 is a HSF (Heatsink/Fan combo)

You need a fan for that other heatsink, but it's the best one for overclocking, unless you fancy water cooling.

[dscytherulez]

Yes, I know it is a combo, which is why I said it would be a better choice. That heatsink is a total waste of money. You can buy a much nicer combo for like $50.

[Rbstr]

ive never heard anything about the Volcano 12 sucking, thermaltake make some good quality stuff for good prices, may not be the best but it better than stock crap

Personally, I like this cooler http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/cooling/ThermalRight_SP-97/index.htm
Probably be my next cooler once I get a new case. Looking at the Antec Lanboy II

[NoSurrender]

If you get a lanboy(very nice case) you need to take out the 2 120mm fans and replace them with Higher CFM ones, because they don't push enough air.

My friend just got one, thats the only thing he sasy he doesn't like

[Fragmatic]

Just imagine a lanboy with 3 Vantec Tornado fans (2 case fans, and the cpu fan) running at full pelt!

Man, that would be shit loud, but computer would be cool.

[Rbstr]

yeah thats whet my friend change them to, Vantec tornados, it sounds liek a jet fighter waiting to take off

[Fragmatic]

:lol:

Must get damn nice temps though?
