Cute pic of the HSF. PLEASE....do yourself a favor and don't buy anything without full spec's!!! There are plenty of knowledgable folks here to help. :)
 
i have to put the pic on later my digitol camera is messed up right now
will get it tomorrow
 
No...I meant cute pic from the link...also it's 50mmx10mm....I'd think 10 times or so first....IMHO
 
Need a good but cheap heatsink? Go with Taisol, that's the one I got. Here are my specs

Tbird 800 @ 1029Mhz @ 2.01v (Can't go any higher which sucks)
Asus A7V
Artic Silver II, it helps with 1 degree from Artic Silver 1
Temps idle = 41 Degree Centigrate
Temps Load = 44 Degree Centigrate
It's loud but it works,
 
well whats a good size of fan then? i need some help here. im surprised i got up to 1000 stable with my 750 tbird, but i need some help please thanks
 
Minimum on Tbirds I would say 60mm. Anything lower then that you are asking to fry your CPU. The heatsink you showed there really isn't going to cut it even if it's twin fans. When teh fans are counter rotating they only produce more pressure not CFM. There really isn't a good reason to stack fans like that.
 
that hsf on ebay doesn't look good. too fancy a design with too few fins, and double-stacking fans doesn't help anyway. spend the extra and get a good hsf.
 
i also have the abit kt7 raid (the best motherboard i ever had) and i want to make shure it will fit.
