alpha Pal6035 vs volcano 7 temp diff

[unreal]

i have both of them,, and just redid the L1 on my duron 800,, now i went from 816 to 952, and switched the volcano 7 i had on there with my old alpha pal 6035, and im getting about 7 degree's cooler... reason i got the volcano b4 was for temp cooling and the pal fan broke,, i replaced the pal fan with a generic one,,am getting cooler temps... go fig..

[shiyan]

is that centigrade or fahrenheit (spelling?)?

[unreal]

c

[shiyan]

pretty good improvement. but your volcano 7 is not the all copper one right?

[unreal]

no it has the copper circle,, but looks like blue painted steel or something

[shiyan]

Cool. I have one of those in one of my parents' company computers.

I remember it looked pretty cool, didn't make much noise, but cooled average.

[unreal]

nah its loud as hell, the vvolcano

A true blast from the past... even though this is only anecdotal user experience, it may be an indication that heatsink technology has pretty much stagnated in the last years.
I have an Alpha 6035 on my P3 800, since 2000. Of course, it was a top ranking heatsink back then, while that volcano has never been so, but still.
