Shaggy Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 Im on a budget for a solid heatsink, but i want i dont want it to be incredibly loud. I was looking at either getting a Volcano 7+, Volcano 9, or Cooler Master HHC-L61. If you could give me a recommendation i would appreciate it. And by the way, i cant afford the slk-900 heatsink.

justinal Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 i like the 7+ its suppose to be better than the 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 have used 7+ and 9 go with the 7+ but leave the fan speed on medium unless you want it to sound like a helicopter liftoff then set it to high. i leave my 7+ on medium all the time. it works great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 my v9 works find, thats what Im getting for the computer Im building. Its got a 2500+ barton too. Though if you got a v7+ with a smart case fan II it would probably work better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsfan Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 the 7+ won't fit a smart fan, it uses a 70mm fan and it's also kind of stuck to the frame, you're gonna have to dremel it like i did and use an adapter, i stuck a 92mm tornado fan on top of that sucker and it's workin great! anyways, if you're on a budget for a good heatsink, www.xoxide.com has the volcano 11 on sale right now for $25, i got one of those too and that works great, avoid the volcano 9 at all costs! it has to be 7+ or 11 when it comes to volcanos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
