i know all of you think thermaltake is bad and i haven't had the best results with them either but my friend is a pretty experienced comp tech and hes big into overclocking. hes got his 2100 t-bred B i think overclocked to 2.4 or 2.5 ghz (he tinkers a lot) and hes using a volcano 11. does thermaltake have the potential?

Thermaltake heatsinks arent as good as thermalright heatsinks. They have less surface area/worse design. Thermaltake makes a sweet fan though.

They aren't so bad but they aren't good either. Overclockers usually want the best performance they can get and tt isn't even in the same league as thermalright or swiftech.

yea, them and other companies like belkin, nvidia, just basically jack their prices up because they are well-known and n00bies to computers will buy their products becuase they have a more famous name

Wish they had a Opteron heatsink. I had to go with Thermaltake Silent boost heatsinks on my dual opteron rig and they suck donkey doo.
