View Full Version : Vantec or Thermalright???
Ive decided to go with an air cooling solution rather than an expensive, risky water cooler. I am currently debating 2 copper hsf's. The first one on my list is the Thermalright SK6 with a Delta 38 screamer and the second on my list is the Vantec CCK6035D also with a Dleta 38. The noise from the Delta's won't be a problem for me. Which of these heatsink's are better than the other? The most noticeable difference between the 2 are the socket clips. the Vantec seems to have a nice clip which can be done without any tools, while the Thermalright has a clip that requires a flathead screwdriver. Believe me. the one's that require screwdrivers pose a huge risk to motherbpard damage. I broke a resistor off of my MSI K7T Turbo when the screwdriver slipped and struck the board. It's in MSI's repair shop being fixed and I should have it back any day now. Which of these heatsinks cools the best? Anyone have a link for a head to head duel between the 2?

TheSK6 is much better, it is actually the top one. (tied with 1 other one)
The price is excelent, the only downside is the feeling of being behind a jetplane, if you don't mind that's great, but let me tell ya that I've heard that gamers can't stand it, with a SK6 there is no point in spending money into a good soundcard, all you need is some onboard sound or the SB value! tops,:D
heh, thats what i have...oboard sound, but i don't even use that. Im 100% deaf so sound is irrelevant to me. That's why im going for the biggest, loudest, coolest fan i can find. I wish the clip design on the SK6 was as good as the Vantec.
I have an SK6 and I very happy with it. The only negative aspect of the HSF unit is the clip design. A great property of the SK6 is its weight approx 330g's the lightest copper HSF.
I recommend getting one......

The ThermalRight is the best of the 2. An outstanding HSF - with a load fan, but to get the max cooling with either HSF's you'll have a load fan.
You'll just have to be careful with the screwdriver - or use a pair of thick needlenose pliers - that's what I use.
thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'm going to go with the SK6. Does anyone know where I can get it bundled with Arctic Silver II?
