IUMaestro Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 all of that depends - what do you do with your system? (ie. gaming, video editing, regular use, etc..) - do you plan on OCing? - what is your budget? - do you want water cooling or air cooling There is no such thing as the best. There is such a thing as the best for what you want. So figure out some more dimensions so we can help you make a good decision Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 You can't go wrong with an SLK-900A and a 92mm Vantec Tornado, except for noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuZziELiTLpAnDa Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 im in need of a new hsf too. i have my pc in my room and sleep with it on sometimes. is the noise level on that fan really bothersome? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 does the sound of a hair dryer bother you while sleeping if so then yes because i run an 80mm tornado on a volcano 11 base and it is louder than the other 11 fans between my 2 comps put together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeter_acres Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 I put a Vantec Stealth on my SLK-800 and it does pretty well.... not great, but it is silent with pretty good cooling.... keeps it quiet until i pony up for water cooling..
