SK6 (never owned one, but the reviews are excellent and other members use them religiously), I can personally vouch for the Pal 6035.

Hi Masterhaides

it would've been better if you posted this thread at Cooling section of this forum but since im already here I'll give you my part of recommendation.. First, there are many good HSFs that one maybe better than the other depends on the preference of the user. But the best one in terms of Performance, Price, and Compatibility for your Socket 370 type, would be ThermalRight SK-6. The reign champion Swiftech MC462A and Alpha Pal 8045(alpha's top of the line) are very closely matched with Sk-6 matter of beating each other by 1 degree celsius. But them the Alpha and the Swifty cost more.. and worst thing, they don't fit on yours.
but SK-6 does.. They fit on the slockets too.
Other within Top-Ten socket370 coolers are:

Dynatron CD1206BM-0 (almost equally matched with SK6)

Akasa Silver Mountain

Millennium Glaciator II

Gladiator

Vantec CCK-6035D

and few more..


The rest of the HSFs including Globalwin CAK38/WBK38/Fop32/Fop38, Alpha PEP66/Pal 6035, Taisol CGK760 didn't make it to Top ten list according to the update on Oct. 14 2001.

If someone else has add to this, let us know. =)

Vantec's price/performance ratio makes it appealing.

The SK-6 has really good review as well as its good hard ware.. The heatsink itself is pure copper and you can change the Delta 38 on it to a bigger fan thus better performance.

I highly recommend it but its kinda costy ... But half the price of the Swiftech heh.
