volcano 7+, but the fan is louder and higher pitched that the volcano 11

volcano 11 full speed: 0.36 C/W
volcano 7+ full speed 0.30 C/W

I agree with Cheesy Peas. The volcano 7+ is slightly better.

Check out oc.com's comparison here

Click to expand...

Depends on the fan, but what are you going for? Are you going for quiet, cooling performance or both? If you are just going for quiet, then probably either of them (don't they both have smartfans? If not, go with the one that does). If you are going for performance, don't look at Thermaltake but rather Thermalright, they have the best heatsinks out there. Get one of those and a Tornado fan and you will be deaf, but happy with temps. If you want both, look at watercooing, that is your best option, but it is expensive.

if you want quiet and performace get the volcano 7+ it doesnt have the smart fan, but actually a smaller 70mm fan instead of the 80mm of the smartfan, but it does come with a high/medium/low controller so it can be adjusted, and on medium you will probably get around the same performance as the v11 on full wack, bit it will be quieter.

i see what he is saying if you buy the v7 then you can run the fan slower but still get the same performance of the v11 with the fan on full

the 1st question is: is the v7 fan on half quieter than the v11 fan on full

i would guess it is

The 2nd question is: is the v7 on half going to perform as well as the v11 on full


and again i would guess it would

can some1 confirm that?
