and not a zalman 7000a cu right?

 

[itshondo]

Thermalright SLK-900A with a panaflow 56 cfm 92mm fan.

 

[xace]

Volcano 9's have a fan adjuster, decent cooling, and they're cheap.

 

[Namagomi]

SP-97, 92mm low-speed Panaflow

 

[Ritalin]

i thought he said no holes?

 

[crash375]

Thermalright SLK-900A is a good HS, I love mine but you have to be careful its very heavy. IM using a smartfan 2 at 3800rpm, Ive ordered a 92mm panaflow looking forward to trying it.

 

[Namagomi]

Looks like I need some Ritalin of my own.


SLK-900A in that case

 

[Crash893]

and not a zalman 7000a cu right?

yes

 

[Crash893]

where would you get it?

i will probably need some as5 too right
and a fan ( i take it doesnt come with one or doesnt appear to anyway)

 

[dalilman52]

another vote for the slk-900a, best coler on clips, then add a quiet panaflo, uve got the best cooling for what uve sed

43dba < quiet

1) not be a "hairdryer" sounding fan

I run it on a rheostat that I bought at Radio Shack. To make air is to make some noise.You can adjust it to your cooling/noise ratio you desire.Getting too quite of fan will not dissapate the heat off of the HS. This fan has high air pressure and is the best economical choise IMHO to date.Cooling and your PSU are the 2 most important aspects of your rigs stability and health.THE FANMAN

 

[Crash893]

would you get it with a 92mm fan or a 80


any suggestions for quietness ( i dont like self adjusting fans becuase they keep me up )

I like the Enermax adjustable 92mm. If you want a Panaflo, get it from Sidewinder, they have the "bx" model with rpm monitoring.

 

[archilochus]

The only air cooling quiteness I know of with out being sarcastic is turning the fans down or the rig off.The other choise is extreme cooling.They all run fans to disapate the processors heat.With a high pressure fan like the Panaflo U1A 92mm you can adjust up when you need it and down when you dont. The 92mm fan may not concentrate the air to the HS as effciently as the 80mm fan.

SK-7s are GREAT heatsinks if you can still find them. if not, get a ALX-800 here:

i'd suggest a Smart Fan 2, turn it down for winter, turn it up for summer. turn it up for gaming, turn it down for sleeping. or just get a tornado and some sort of rheobus like a Sunbeam.

 

[archilochus]

Crash,You might give this link a look. It shows the top fan noise to cfm,and there is other good info at this site. THE FANMAN
