Why buy it then?

Especailly when it costs £250 :eek:

Just buy a decent air cpu cooler and put a yate loon onto it.

ASH1982 · 2 Jan 2008 at 14:43

because this is whisper quiet

smsmasters · 2 Jan 2008 at 15:41

£250 just for quietness?

ASH1982 · 2 Jan 2008 at 15:43

Well the chip can take up to 78Cish before thermal monitoring kicks in...nothing to worry about IMO

And the 58C is only after an Orthos run, never gets much above 50C even running Crysis for an hour or so...

My e6600 @ 3.6ghz idles at 24C and load is ~58C in an Antec 900 case (4x 120mm fans, 1x 200mm fan) with an artic cooling freezer 7 pro @ 1.432V. I don't think I need watercooling any time soon

Looks quality that! I love my Zalman V2. Silent with no fans and manages to keep my overclocked A64 X2 nice and cool. Looks the biz too!

Good job!
