JeremyA Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Well, if you can take the noise, tornadoe all the way, no doubt, but otherwise, the thermaltake one looks ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 if you were thinking about the Blue LED Tt fan, you'd be better off with the 92mm version... it's a LOT harder to find, but it exists, and somewhere will sell it... it took me a LONG time to find a supplier in the UK, i actually had to contact a distributor and ask for one of the retailers that they supply to be able to find an online store that had them... edit: nm... man, what the heck is a spire cooler? anyway, i guess it's 80mm only...

Byron Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 You can always use fan adapters, I'd personally choose the TT fan because of the built in fan control, the leds, and it pushes a good amount of air. I used one of them when I had a TT volcano 11, now i'm using a TT 120mm on a tt pipe-101. Fan adapters do marvels with heatsinks, but not many people use them :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 and possibly a reseating of heatsink. The stock cooler (lapped mind) on my other computer is 50C under load with two 80mm fans, same make.. just one has LED's and one is plain black, at 7v. If you're not overclocking then I would say 60C load is acceptable. 65C is nearing 70C.... which is kind of pushing it a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worker Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 I get the tt if you can t stand the loud nose but won t get as much air flow as the tornado. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
