How r yas?
I was gonna order this baby :

do you think they r anygood? or do yas own one?
let me know, thanks
Well. I have not heard of many people getting these on this forum, but i have to say that i think this is one of the nicest looking coolers out there. I just hope its performence matches its look. for a retail hsf, im sure it will perform average at the least. if you like these blower hsf's, a lot of people have claimed the aero series to be very good. makes me think that a custom job with the aero fan on a thermalright heatsink would be best.
Would be nice if blower fans came in different sizes. I liek my little sk6+ .
it isnt as gargantuine as my sk7 was or the slk947U i want to buy in the future.
my 2 cents, i would go for the aero. the silver jet look of this is neat, but a little out of place in a pc case, the aero might fit in slightly better.

I think it would be a bad choice for a cooler.

yup, i heard these were not good at all.

looks very cool
i guess it would be an ok cooler if you weren't look to push your cpu....
Results comparable to a stock AMD heatsink with noise comparable to an old Delta 38. Not the best combination if you ask me. I would stick with a ThermalRight or Zalman cooler.
It looks nice...Other than that I cant help you too much.

i guess its just one of those things where it would just look cooler than......it cools

I would rape this for its fan ha ha. thats a sweet looking blower fan. but i would probably stick to the thermalright packages. my sk6+ is performing absolutly unbelivably at 2000 mhz.
xp2100+ 166x12 =2000mhz
Lapped thermalright sk6+ using stock 2100+ amd fan = $20 cdn.
Zalman fb123 fan bracket with panaflo 92 mm medium flow over cpu = $20 cdn *Extra, not nessisary*
Idle temps are 37.5ºC with a load of 44.5º @ 2000 mhz. I dont think you can beat this considering all of these fans produce less than 32db. the panaflo is rated to 48 cfm *which i dont think so, but its nice anyway. my zalman fan moves more air* the amd fan is just in there in case i want to take out the fan bracket. all in all, a nice small hsf combo for light overclocking. for heavy overclocking, i have to take all the fans out and put my smart fan 2 on the bracket.
most people here seem to be using slk 900 series. if you want to spend the money on a good heatsink, get a 947U and be done with it ^^.
How about Thermalright with Jet fan?
i think that would be pretty good, i just don't know how to attach it to the thing without some kind of modification.
I just assumed that Jet has normal fan mounting points.
btw, I woulnd't try it with Swiftech rads, becasue tehy are made special for fans, not blowers

That is the coolest cooler I have seen yet :). I like this design because it's taking air from the side. Most newer cases have 2 80mm case fans in the back. You could make these blow air in and let this cooler suck the air directly onto the CPU. IMO this would work better than any other cooler if this method is used.

A classic quote of mine, "Fashion over Function" That cooler looks "cool" but doesn't "function" as a great cooler for its price.

hey stan 03, i guess a way to do it would be using the fan hub (the fan's plastic outer-casing) from an older fan...screwing it to the casing..then using the clips to secure, but i dont think that would work too well....

This is one of it's down falls.
12.0~22.1 CFM
Not a whole lot of air being pushed for it's noise level. It is pretty cool looking though, I'll give it that.
I have a Aero 7 lite and it brought me temps on my 1700 @ 2000Mhz from 48 down to 37 and that’s about half speed. It has a blower like the Jet 7 only not as nice looking.
You just can't beat the thermalright's though.
Jet ha air intakes on boths ides (at least it's said to have), but bling design seems to be top priority in this model, while aero is made for performance.

yea but wasn't there a thread about how that didn't matter because the amount of static pressure? maybe im mistaken, but what i remember is that that low cfm is made up by the high pressure.

Well i will order one and let yas know how well it works, im sure it should be a lot better than my standard AMD hsf!!
Speak to yas soon
It's a blower, so not only noise and cfm matter. Blower and fans have different active area, so lower cfm blower may have higher efficiency than higher cfm fan. Stuff also depends on shape o f radiator, so for example in my opinion zalman aero blowers would perform very ncie on thermalrights, but fans would be rather better for new pin -architecture swiftech rads.
what is your logic behind that?

Right ok i have had a change of mind :-)
Now all i need is someone to tell me ive made a good choice
http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/components/modificationandcoolingkit/productView.htm?quicklinx=2N2F
half the price of the coolermaster, and from what i read a good bit more powerful.
What do yas think??

How about you go pick up a Thermalright SK7 (http://www.tekheads.co.uk/web/product?product=601864&) and a Thermaltake smartfan II (http://www.tekheads.co.uk/web/product?product=601108&) and enjoy much better cooling. Also you can control it manually or with temp control.
£30 for the lot ain't bad as it has one of the best performances of any AMD cooler.

My logic is usually wird, but not in this case.
If you look at blower from it output "hole", it blows with all its area, air goes usually traight down, with relatively low turbulence.
Now fan:
area on middle is unused and just nearby, air flow is low, with high air flow on sides
air flow is very tubulent
so the most important part of heatsink - centre isn't cooled at all. it's not a big problem when w hav swiftch rad, but thermalright - we don't use it in 100%, sometimes in hmm 40%?
That's why air ducts are used - to direct air to go straight on rad, to lower turbulence before reaching fins and to make pressure similiar on all area - to cool also central part of rad. Duct of hmm 2"+ would be really nice here.
Blowers don't need ducts because of their specific output air movement and (almost) equal pressure on most of area.
That's why in most cases blower wins with fan with the same or even slightly highr cfm.
If still you'd like m to answer some stuff here, just cream loud :)
oh i should have made myself clearer, i just don't get why you think it would be more effective on a slk instead of the swiftech.
hehe :)
slk is designed for flow in 2 sides, where flow in cetrnal area seems to be importan
swiftech - has pretty thick base and fins just made for fan - circle design, fins just ask for turbulent air flow, which in blower case is too much directioned
Of course opinions are very subiective and come only from my logic. No research made in this direction :)
