Just thought id post as im well pleased with my new fan on my SK6 sat on my A7V-266 With Thunderbird 1.4 Ghz .
I Purchased an SK6 HSF When i built this system a few months ago , i was a little concerned with my cpu temps at 49c idle and 56c load with a room temp of 20c . but after looking at many posts my temps seemed very good in comparison to others with the same system as mine , one report where a stand alone probe had been placed on the side of the 1.4Ghzcpu on the A7V266 reported a 6-7c drop from what asus probe was reporting which made me feel alot better but not 100% convinced .
By the way the fan that came with my SK6 was a Y.S.Tech that spun at 3450rpm .
Today being a very good day i went out and purchased a delta fan that spins at 6800 noisey i had been warned but not anywhere near as bad as i thought it would be , The Good news is Or should i say the great news is My Cpu Temps are now wonderfully exceptable with an Idle temp of 42C And Load temp of 46C and room temp of 20c
Now if you took into account Asus probes are normally inflated by 5-7c That means ive got a very cool system Wouldnt you agree :)
Now my Main Question is are there any better fans , performance wise that i could purchase for this SK6 .
