BROWNjello109 Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 thanks, is the volcano 9 built only for AMDs? -aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 IF you want professional recomendation I would choose either the Volcano 7+ or Spark 7+ from Thermaltake. They will handle that 2.2 and any o/cing u want to do just fine. the 7+ is rated for upto 2.8 and I have a 2.4 @ 3.6 right now running less than 45 C full load at 1200FSB!! thats a 50% o/c.

justinal Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 well the heatsink doesnt get loud so it reallt depends on the fan not the heatsink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 The problem with copper coolers is that you need a good air pressure to dissipate the heat unlike alu. HS wich dont take as much air to do the same thing but copper takes away more of that heat.Conclusion,high cfm fans with copper HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
