lilkev715 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I am going to start building another rig soon for a friend and I need some advice on which HSF to choose for his system. There will be some light overclocking done (2500+ oc'ed to 3200+), and noise is definately an issue. I was going to choose a Vantec Aeroflow or a SLK 900U/947U with a slow/medium speed 92mm case fan as both HSF are relatively quiet. The main concern is that my friend will be moving his case around a lot as he attends a lot of LAN parties. Which heatsink should I choose? The vantec aeroflow isn't too heavy(384grams) and it uses all 3 mounting clips on the socket. The SLK 900U/947U is pretty heavy but it can be mounted through the mobo mounting holes. So basically, which would be a safer HSF to use? Remember that he will be moving his case around a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 the slk monuted thru the board 900 or 947 are both ood choices Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 What type of case are you using with the system; I know you are taking this to a number of Lans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 (edited) He is going to be using a aluminum chieftec case without a removeable mobo tray. I told him to get a shuttle SFF, but he absolutely has to have the ability to store 4 hard drives. If anyone wants to know what mobo he is going to use it is this one.

Guest Ballz2TheWallz Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) if your going thermalright hands down a SP-97 with heat pipe pararell to the ground it seems that the SP-97 is a hard find but if you can get one a slk series will do you well Edited December 10, 2003 by Ballz2TheWallz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 go with the 900, if its attatched the mobo it shouldn't have any problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I guess I am going to go for the 900U/947U, which ever I can find the cheapest. Any one else have any more input? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuZziELiTLpAnDa Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 if noise is a problem u should consider the thermaltake silent boost hsf. im overclocked quite a bit and my case temp stays below 30 and cpu below 40 during idle.
