Silver Mountain VS Swiftech MC-462

Here is a little off topic question:
Do you guys remove your Silver Mountain, when moving around with your comp?
I'm might get the Silver Mountain, but I don't want it, if I'll have to remove it all the time.

The Silver mountain was designed around a Delta fan
60mm

The MC-462 was designed around an 80 mm fan....

This is going to be a test of "As Designed"
The Mc-462 is coming stock to me with an 80mm Sanyo Denki.
That is the fan that will be used FIRST.


If the Silver mountain was available with a choice of fans, then I could swap the S/M's fan out and keep test integrity.
The Delta 60mm that it's paired with is already the best 60mm that I could find...to their credit they didn't skimp on fans.



The MC-462 can be ordered with either the Sanyo Denki or the Delta..therefore BOTH FANS will be tested!

Putting an adapter on the silver Mountain....
Well...then put an adapter on the MC-462 and run a 120mm...
when adapters come in to play...all the rules go right out the window.


After all, Couldn't we just have our MC-462's SILVER PLATED and REALLY throw a monkey wrench in the mix??

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
Food for thought!!!





In conclusion...
If Akasa thought they needed it..they would have designed the Silver mountain around an 80mm fan (Or larger?).
At least they could have offered differant fan options.

Swiftech did decided to design around an 80 mm fan.

Those companies made the decisions...
These tests are to decide (For x-treme overclockers anyway) Who made the best choices.
Who has the "Bragging Rights"




BTW.....I want to find the BEST OF THE BEST for Air cooling.
I OWN both setups...(No free samples for me..and no pressure from anyone to skew the results).
I paid Good money for them....I ordered without regaurd to advertisement.
I watched the boards for what seemed to be the top 2 contenders...

Now...let's find out who is the BEST



Sorry if my typing is hard to follow....
I just got out of bed and havn't even had my first cup of Coffee.

I'm going outside for a jaunt around the neighborhood...
I'll check this thread when I get back

Have a Good Labor Day!!
