Thermalright ALX-800 with 92mm Tornado fan or Thermaltake A1745 Volcano 12?

[ultimasailing]

hello, my current stock heat sink and fan is Thermaltake Cu6+ on an amd xp 2600 266 fsb. The case is antec case with 2 exhaust and 2 intakes. I am running stock speed right now, so ambience tempt is 31 C and cpu tempt is 45. I want to lower my tempts and maybe later overclocking a bit. My question is Thermalright ALX-800 with 92mm Tornado fan or Thermaltake A1745 Volcano 12 would be better? the reason i choose these 2 b/c they are quite affordable. i understand that it is quite relative, but i would like to hear some of the opinions. My board is asus a7v8x deluxe, corsair 512 one stick 3200 with heat spreader, and cyberlink 420w. Thanks for reading.

anything is better than a thermaltake, especially the thermalright

Either one is good. I installed the V12 with AS5 and took 15*C off of my CPU temp.

I have 8

5 80 case fans
2 ps
1 120 on rad.

all at 5v unless I need extra cooling then I switch to 12v.

the sp 97 or the swiftech are very nice indeed, but they cost so much.

Quality comes at a price. "We would rather explain the price of quality than have to apologize for something less" This is a good way to buy. THE FANMAN

meh you dont need the absolute greatest HS availible, the SLK series is great, look into the 947U and 900A.

Or look into some swiftech HSs.
