Heatsink/fan

Welcome to the Forums!

For $17.50 an original Glaciator from Millenium-Thermal is a great buy. Good performer and quiet too!

I agree whole heartedly!!!

This is supposed to be pretty decent, especially for $9.98

Here it is for $14.98 with a 40cfm fan (PIC)

Either one of these or the Glacier will do the job

If your heatsink is allready decent you may wish to spend that $20 on a better fan.

DANG!!! i just paid 25 shipped for the goldengate!!! without a fan!!! dang! and now its 14 with a fan!!!

i HIGHLY suggest that heatsink!!! its great!! i have really bad airflow through my case and the hsf has a 18cfm fan and i get 47c, before i had my mobo and stuff outside my case and id get just barely 40c load on my 1700+ oced to 1900+
and thats with 18cfm!!! i have a really anoying fan that pushes a lot of flow that i have stuck on that thing.... but its terribly anoying! eaven with 7v
i dont remember the results with that one though...

and i had a 80mm fan adapted to it also and that had some GREAT results!!!! at 30cfm, but i recked the adapter trying to make it better.... i made the thing out of a cdr..

That Golden Gate is a good one,with the YS-tech fan. It cools better than my sk-6.

Anybody know where to find more detailed specs on the golden Gate base size? I cant exceed 60x60 base (maybe could go extra in length but not width)

Here's the link that will tell you the size. http://svcompucycle.com/svcgolgathea1.html
But here's the link to get it on sale. http://svcompucycle.com/svcgolgat40.html

Thanks...if those measurements are correct then it looks about 3mm too wide...capacitor clearance problem on an older mobo
