Thermalright 700 fan search, noise does not matter

[hafaphoto]

I am looking for a fan for my SLK 700 heatsink. I know I should get the SP-97, but am short on cash (again). Summer is here with a vengence! My computer temps are up 2 degrees or so, so I need cooling. Any Ideas on a big a## fan I can put on this heatsink? And noise is no issue. I would prefer a quiet fan, but I can live with a screamer for the summer.

Thanks for any and all help!

Vantec's Tornado series. Look no further. You can find it at pretty much any online cooling store. www.heatsinkfactory.com often has very good prices on these items.

You know, for just a little more than some of those fans you could buy a slk-900a or something and get a lot better cooling than that slk-700 ( it has a C/W of .29 and the slk-900a has a .22 , which you could get even lower with good airflow and a good HSF w/ some AS5 )

Look at this link sidewinder... for 30 bucks, you could lower your temps even more! Just save your money a little longer. If you want a good fan later, the Delta HHE makes a great fan... same airflow as the 80mm Tornado only its over 10dB quieter. It's a high pressure fan, so it's very effective at cooling the Thermalright HS's. Look at my temps... with a lower power AMD, you should be able to get lower temps than that.

Anyway, good luck in your decision

a tornado is your best bet but are you sure noise does not matter. unless its in a basement or something the tornado will bother if not you then whoever else is living with you. most people say they can deal with a noisy fan but quickly change their minds after hearing a tornado.

It might take a little modding, but the cooling is great...

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info. I may go ahead and get the SP97, or go the cheap route and just get a new fan.

Hey archilochus, my modding skills are not quite up to that beast! Always nice to start the day off laughing!
