CPU fan

NebiekinG · Jun 12, 2003

Hello, I am ocing right now on a Asus p4g8x with a 3.06 goes to 3.4 . I am wondering is it worth the extra money to change the heatsink/fan that the cpu came with? I was thinking http://www.thermaltake.com/products/spark/spark7plus.htm

Any clues?
Please replay EVERY1 is wellcome to have an opinion!!

Get Thermalright from kdcomputers.com.

I bought a SLK-900U from kdcomputers, and I lost one of the nuts bolted to the mo, I emailed both kdcomputers & Thermalright and they are sending the replacement to me for free.

Great product and service from kdcomputers & Thermalright, can't go wrong!

yes deffinitly change for a better HSF, the slk900u has made many happy overclockers

slk900. the last word in air cooled overclocking.

slk900U without a doubt, use the loudest 92mm =fan you can tolerate.

i'm using that 2850rpm panaflo. works very nicely.

SLK-900, loudest fan you can handle (would recommend not going over 45db but thats just me) it is worth the money cools great on a hotter running AMD proc make sure u have the 4 holes in your mobo 2 on each side of the socket. recommending you get a 92mm fan also unless you wann buy a shroud for a 120mm(or make one

) Use Artic Silver 3 or Artic Silver Ceramic.
if you get it fassen the thing on on both sides tape the hole were the clamp would go(increases the air going through the fins= better cooling)

How about this fan?

The best fan made by Rolls Royce.

No...no ... just kidding.... SLK900 is the best.

The others are right. The idea is to get the best quality heatsink and use the air convection your ears can tolerate. This is simply the best approach to cooling.

And definitely stay away from the mediocre ThermalTake solutions.

thats a nice fan but will cost major $$$ in gas to run it each day, but on a bonus it will also be your paper shreader
