Have you any idea what HSF combo this is?

Can you name everything (any electronic, no need to name the can of compressed air, or the rubbing alcohol :) ) in the picture?

This was a side project I just completed to quiet down my monstrous PC case....

Sorry guys, can't display the image here, you'll have to click to see it here: http://xxx.50megs.com/hsf.html

Don't forget to guess the CPU :) (Note that this doesn't mean you guessed right, or guess wrong what you've said so far :) )

Looks like a SK-7 with some stock intel fan on it and a TMD fan on an intel HS?
 
From the looks I would say it is an SLK-700, because the SLK-700 Ships with a TMD fan and that is the fan besides the intel one in the pic. Otherwise, I would say it is an Sk6. It is definitely a thermalright, you can tell by how the fins are connected across the top.

EDIT- based on the angle of the sides and shape of the base (full plate, not free flow) I am almost certain it is an Sk6.
 
No guesses as to what kind of CPU it's mounted on? :)

I'll let this charade run on for about another 12 hrs, then I'll let everyone know :) I just thought it was interesting the way I mated the things togeter 'n such.
 
I can't stand it anymore, I have to tell :)

You guys are good with your heatsinks eh! :D

In the background is a stock Intel Celeron heatsink, mated to a 74mm TMD fan.

In the foreground, and my new HSF, is the stock Intel Celeron fan, mated to an SK-6+. Good job guys :)

The CPU is actually a S370 1.4Ghz Celeron, mated to a Slot1 -> S370 adapter ('Slotket'). Purring like a kitten in my Asus P2B mobo (one user on these forums complained that I'm running crusty hardware. So what?! It works :))

I'll tell ya, that TMD fan was driving me nuts. It's over-the-top-loud. Plus, the Canadian Distributor of ThermalRight stuff didn't have the 74mm fan hood, so I had to ghetto-hack it and hold the fan onto the SK-6+ using some wire/twine.

I'm too lazy to re-apply AS3 as I was thinking of swapping back to OEM HSF, so I devised a way to hook the OEM fan to the SK-6+. Wire works great :)

WHY would I even bother with such a combo? I'm running a Slot1 board with a slotket, so the HSF is pointed perpendicular to the mobo, and too tall a HSF will block up RAM slots. TMD was the way to go.... or OEM.

This new-world/old skool combo works great, and looks cool too :cool:
 
AND..... For anyone with an SK-6+ or wanting to add a very affordable HSF, check this out.... Get an SK-6+ and throw on an 80mm fan! (SK-6+ was made primarily for 60mm fans (i.e. Delta), with an upgrade bracket for 74mm TMD fan hoot. That's it.)

I found these pics off this article: 'How to Build a Quiet PC - Overclockers.com Article'

"I like this heatsink because it is very cheap and incredibly effective with some simple modifications. With the mod I will describe, the SK-6+ will perform identically to the more expensive SK-7 when using the same fan. "
