BEST looking HSF I have ever seen!

chasingapple · Mar 26, 2002

Hey all, was at Computer Builders Warehouse the other day and got a new cooler for my Athlon XP 1800+

This thing rocks with cooling, was using a Vantec 6035OD with 7,000 RPM Delta and this thing cools 3c cooler while overclocked to 1610mhz!

Here is a pic of the thing, let me know what you think....I have come to find out that the heatsink part is actually made by Evercool....no idea who makes the silver fan but its quiet and BIG! This thing is my new fave HSF of all time =)

chasingapple · Mar 26, 2002

looks pretty nice....

but...

imho, Thermaltakes look nice, but the suck posterior...

can this thing perform, or does it sell on image alone?

chasingapple · Mar 26, 2002

Performs very well IMHO. Do a google search for Evercool 725 and read for yourself. This is just a better fan for me, alot quieter @5,000 rpm and pushes 38 CFM.

Max load @ 1610mhz 39c

Well let me explain my temps a little more indepth...

I live in Las Vegas, it gets a little hot here, hehe.

In the daytime I run @ 41c Idle 44c Max load...when it cools at night and the ambient temps go down in the house im running at 36c Idle 39c Max. I am also overclocked right now Athlon XP 1800+ @ 1610mhz (140 FSB).

Not too bad I think! My Vantec with a Delta couldnt keep up with this. I am just in love with the looks of the thing and im seriously considering a Window mod now. I am using the Older Alienware Hydrolic case and its silver too so I got the steel look going here, hehe. Would be nice to watch the fan spinning in there.

Sonny · Mar 26, 2002

How close do you think the design is to the SLK800?

chasingapple · Mar 26, 2002

Looks pretty close actually, I think its a proven design that performs very well and I would expect to see alot of similar designs by other companies. Having the silver fan on it that runs quiet and cranks out 38 CFM airflow is nice.

no the SLK800 has a lot more fins making for better cooling..

ThePunkGeek · Mar 26, 2002

a quiet delta umm are you sure its pluged in? 1610 on an 1800+ = umm 140fsb?
whats the temp
whats the voltage
and is 140 as high as it will go???

Staz · Mar 26, 2002

Sure is pretty. I bet that 70mm fan cuts way down on the noise too.

Did you used to go to Gulf High? I went there in the tenth grade.

You're in port richey? i used to live there. I'm in orlando now, but i still go back pretty often.

Iron Hawk · Mar 26, 2002

Port Richey is north of Tampa, correct?

trdsw20 · Mar 26, 2002

Great after reading this post I know that the two HSFs look the same and also learned several different locations in FLA
Who says you dont learn something new in the forums everyday!

edit: Oh yeah aslo thats one hell of a price for a HS that performs as well as you say and is as quiet as it is!

Acko · Mar 26, 2002

For a h/sink fan combo with that size/weight I don`t like the mounting clip only attaching to the center processor die lugs.
Many companies now are either using the 3 lug brkt. or using the 4 mounting holes in the mobo.

They may look the same but the SLK800 is in a class of it's own. It's smaller brother, SLK600, performed extremely well againts the old king, MC462, with a smaller 60mm fan. The SLK800 uses an 80mm fan.

BEST looking HSF I have ever seen!
