Neural Interface Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 (edited) Im getting a Athlon 2500+ Barton with an A7N8X Deluxe mobo and im not sure what HSF to get. I need insight from your experience on what you thinks best. Basically its between these: Coolermaster HAC-V81 XDream Coolermaster Aero7 or should i get something like the Volcano 7 or 11 Im not looking to OC that much, I prefer quietness over OC'ing Cheers Edited June 12, 2003 by [Nerual interface] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
creager Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 i have the HAC-V81 and it is not quiet at all. it may say its 28dBA but i dont know what the hell they were thinking. its more like 37dBA. im buying a new fan to put on instead othe fan thats on it, which should work perfectly. so buying that heatsink with the fan for $15 and than ordering a Panaflo H1 at 32dBA and 39CFM should be great. i dont know about that other fan.

TiKiGoD Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Volcano 11 is nice. keeps things real cool. not too loud either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
syneze Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 I cannot stress this enough man. If you want a quality HSF that's quiet and is dirt cheap get a Vantec Aeroflow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 if your not going to oc why spend your money on a nice hsf just use your factory one or buy one somewhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennin Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 http://store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/index.html Excelent place for coolers, a very good rating on www.resellerratings.com too. a TR SK-7 + an 80mm fan would be a nice budget combo.

ǥpH Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 (edited) i just used electrical tape to put the stock AMD 3200+ hsf on top of a LED case fan then i screwed that onto my heat sink...lol. Edited June 13, 2003 by ǥpH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
