Alpha8045 & Alpha8045T

[Acko]

I have just finished reading a Copper Cooler Comparison @ http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticlelD=133 & one of the heatsinks is a Alpha 8045T. This heatsink is supposed to suck air away from the cpu area? I have the Alpha 8045 which blows air onto the cpu?

Has any one got the T version if so how well does it cool?

I will reverse my fan sometime & see what temps I get?

Um, just flip your fan around and see if it cools better. If it does, keep it that way. Easy as that ^^

T just means sold with the fan and the other has no fan when you buy it. both blow away from the hs.

Thanks for the Info. el

I have just tried sucking from the cpu & temps were 3C worse,,,? reverted back to blowing! temps droped back to 42C load.

I have been to a computer fair today & bought a small sever I will be cutting & messing about with that for a while.
