alright, i have another HSF question on my hands here.

Im not sure whether to get the Aero 7+, TT Volcano 10, TT Volcano 11, or the Sk-7+SFII combo.

Could anyone help me out?

well the volcano 11 seems to be able to push the same cfm as the Smartfan 2. O-o.

*still unsure*

It may push the same cfm but the heatsink is nowhere near as good.

I'm fairly sure the fan used on the Volcano 11 is a SFII by ThermalTake. Black housing, however.

Anyway, the SK-7 would probably be your best bet. It should come with a nice base, but lately they haven't been - You'll probably want to lap it nice and smooth.

I can vouch for that. Mine was VERY rough.

A 1700+ @ 2300Mhz 1.85 v should get that temp on the Sk-7.... For serious overclocking (or any decent overclocking for that matter) Cooler master AMD heatsinks are a non competitor.

SK-7 + SFII gets my vote - cheaper than the Aero7+ too
