SLk-700 limited edition?

what do u guys think of the slk-700? I was deciding between this and a sk-7 to go along with the sfII. I found a slk-700 'limited edition' that claims to be almost identical to a slk-800 a. They are very similar in price as im looking for a cheap good performing hsf. should i go with the sk-7 or get a slk-700? thanks

I can't see the gold plating making much of a change to the cooling power of the heatsink, but for that price, go for it!!

Except for the coolness factor I don't think it will help temps

Its a looker thats for sure but IMHO any fan under 80mm has too high a pitch and needs to be spun too fast for my ears to stand it.

If you plan on using a tmd fan, get that. Otherwise, a sk7's ability to use80mm fans by it's nature makes it the better sink.

The Heatsink isn't plated gold. Its not even named gold edition, it is called a "Limited Edition". Thermalright made it for smaller fans and those wishing to use a TMD fan.

I'd reccomend just getting the SK7 with a SFII. You're going to get better temps than any TMD or 60-70mm fan can provide, not to mention the lack of high 'squeal'.

Not as good as the sk-7 but not a bad price for what you get

Apparently you haven't had any experience with 74mm Mag-Lev fans. By far my favorite sort of fan: slim, powerful, and quiet
