SidewinderINC Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Hi all, trying to squeeze the last few Mhz out of my 32bit system before i need to take the plunge of a full upgrade... was looking at getting the best S.A heatsink on the market, and have been told its the big typhoon, but it doesnt fit on some boards. does it fit on the LanParty B board? i know the holes are there cause my SLK-947U is on there at the moment but is there enough space around the rest of the board for it?

dr_bowtie Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Check the Theramltake website.... you'll find more info there.... I prefer the Thermalright SI-97 over the one you listed....and does fit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidewinderINC Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 there is no more info on the thermaltake website to say whether it fits this board or not... on the thermalright website, theres a list of incompatible boards, but nothing like that on the thermaltake website. why do you prefer the SI-97?

dr_bowtie Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 size and shape...cooling efficiency..... It is light weight...cools very well...close to water from what I hear.... I am running 210x11 at 1.65vcore and my idle temp is 26-28 and load is 30-32 degrees celcius... I was at 43idle with a thermaltake vocano 9....

SidewinderINC Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 saying the SI-97 is a good cooler isnt explaining why you prefer it to the typhoon though. they are both the same price this side of the pond, and if the typhoon fits it'll be a lot quiter due to the 120mm fan it can fit had some info from the ocuk forums, and there are 3 contenders in the socket A heatsinks for best one Gigabyte GPower Thermalright Si-97 Thermaltake Big Typhoon and from what has been said the Typhoon is the best, followed by the Gpower followed by the Si-97, the Gpower being around 3° better than the Si-97, and unsure of how much better the typhoon was than the Gpower, but that it was better. i think i'll be getting a typhoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
