c-moss Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 hey all, Right now i have my p4 3.2 oc'd @ 3.47, fsb 217 (868 total) My idle temps are about 40c and under max load its around 62c. Im looking to get a better HSF setup. Im thinking about either a thermalright sp-94 or slk900u. Which one should i get, or something else all together? My aspire x-superalien case has a grip of fans, but they're not doin a whole lot. Also, what fan would you recommend to get with those sinks? p4 3.2 @ 3.47 FSB 868 ABIT IC7-Max3 mobo 2GB Geil pc3500 dual channel PNY quadro FX 500 128 mb Seagate Sata drives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special_K Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 do you care how loud it is? would you prefer silent cooling or could you stand tornadoes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 They are both fantastic heatsinks, but the sp94 is a tad bit better, because its newer. You can't go wrong with either, though. Just as stated above, the fan to pick depends on your noise preference. If you don't care about noise, then go with a vantec tornado. I can't reiterate enough, though, how loud those things are. If you want the best noise/airflow possible, I would recommend any of the panflo fans. (that's what I use. They're great) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 yeah personally i like the slk-900U because you don't have to take out the mobo to mount it but the sp-97 is basically the slk-900U with heat pipes so performs better if sound isn't a problem and i mean really u don't care i'd go 92mm tornado but if it is i'd go the 92 panflow or vantec stealth route.

Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 You have to take the mobo out for BOTH the slk-900u and the sp-94. You're thinking of the slk-900a which doesn't need the mobo out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
