DevilMB3017 Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Don't use the sensor, I had V9, its not worth your time. I also have ran a V9 on my current Barton 2500+. Its a great heatsink for the money IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 The 7+ is better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanksta Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 7+ is better, but if you want the adjustable fan speed go with the volcano 11 because this is an all copper hsf which is much better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 i disagree devil, i find that my thermal probe for my v9 works very well. i also have an a7n8x-x so compadibility is not an issue. keps my 1700 nice and cool at 36 C load.

BeatRyder Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 I just had a v9 and it raised my temps around 5 degrees. I was not impressed. So, I am ordering a v12+, thats your best bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 like i said in ur post beat u must have done something wrong when u put it on. or used some cheap thermal paste or pad or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great heatsink for the money IMO. yah but if i dont use the sensor ..the sensor wont be able to tell the computer to close down ..cuz it becoms to hot ..the fan will run ..and keep the CPU @ normal temp ..but if the computer dosent know what temp it's @ ...it's gonna shut down after 4 secs ..so i tried it alwready ..i know what the problem whas..

BeatRyder Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 @ sly, I used AS5. @ Radio Activated, there is a jumper on the fan, you can set it to full speed or, use the temp sensor/speed control nob. the sensor is not a requirment, unless your mobo doesnt support reading of the on-die temp diode.

Sirius Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I put my vote towards the Volcano 11 + Xaser. I have it in right now. Minimum speed= 125*F/52*C. Max Speed= <40*C Â Â This is while under full load btw. Using [email protected] @ 100% Â You can see my specs below Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I had a volcano 11+ and didn't like it at all. It cooled okay, I guess, but the fan had to be at a high enough speed to get acceptable temps that it was just too loud. Plus, the fan that comes with it has that incredibly annoying high-pitched sound. It just simply can't perform as well as my slk-900a, and I don't even have a tornado on it either. I just run a standard 56cfm thermaltake 92mm fan on it. If I was going to get a thermaltake heatsink, I would get the silent-boost k7, the volcano 7+, or the volcano 12. The volcano 9 is good as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
