Hey gang,
Found this at Legion Hardware. They test 17 manufactures and 44 HSF combo's, there should be something there to please everyone. Enjoy. HSF Review |

Thanks STV, I remember that too, wish more would do shoot-outs like that but I can't imagine the time and effort to test 46 of them.

i recommend the new zalman heatsink and fan combos. They are exteremely efficient, and if your'e not number crunching all day or playiing Unreal , they run in silent mode too. Although they're not cheap (£30 in the UK), They do look a little special, especially if you want something that looks trick....
Go to the bottom of this page to see them I've got one in my system although i did struggle to get it all in my midi case..... |

![]() Yeah, I know I need to get a quality one, but I'm just lazy and a little intimidated. I'll get one that Volcano 7+, I've heard lots of good things about it. I've also been thinking of upgrading my chipset fan because I think it's hindering my overclocking ability. I was thinking of get this beautiful little baby. http://www.thermaltake.com/products/...crystalOrb.htm Any of you guys got any better chipset fans I might want to look at??? |

Well, you may want to get the HSF first and see how much room you have around the chipset before you invest in a cooling kit for it. I bought a Swiftech 462 and a TT Blue Orb kit and after installing the Swiftech I didnt have enough space to install the Blue Orb kit. Your mobo may be layed out different from mine so you may be all set..Just a word of precaution.

Hmmm...I think your right svtcobra, my chipset is pretty close to my current heatsink. I think I'll heed your advice and hold out on the chipset fan for now. It does look nice though...

Don't really know cobra??? I still think it runs too hot though so a little more cooling never hurt.
![]() Plus it looks really cool! |

As long as it adds a certain level of functionality then it may be worth it..I probably could have modified the cooler I bought to fit on there with my HSF but I didnt think it was worth doing so.
