Whats the best Fan from overclockers money can buy?

I use a Hyper 6, weighs in at 1kg IIRC. No problems so far. Problem is torque, not weight.

Holy ****!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh, you should have said that then

Since you want a loudass fan, get the ThermalRight SI-120 with a Delta 120mm.

That's some SERIOUS cooling, but LOUD as ever!

I'll put two in my PC then one on my case on one on ThermalRight SI-120 and see how much noise I can make.

How well do you think I could clock a AMD 64 3700+ on that setup?

You can have the best cooling in the world, but if you get a bad stepping, you're stuffed basically. Have you tried overclocking it with your current cooler? That will give you a rough idea of what to expect.

Having said that, running cooler is better in all circumstances.

This CPU is what I'm consider getting I do not own one yet. I'm also intrested in a Oppty 146. I can't make my mind up.

I'm not sure how well the latest batch is doing, best bet is to look in the official 3700+ thread and see how they're doing.

the deltas arent that bad now. i'm used to it. have 2 of the 120mm 190cfm on 2 xp-120s

keeps my 3800+ X2 @ 2.8 ghz now running now at mid-high 30's C - under full load constantly. and my 4400+ X2 @ stock running again @ 100% full load - 27 C at the mo

loud, but you get used to it - or go a little bit deaf

p.s. piccy of a delta on an xp-120 image 1 image 2

Looks pretty tight on the pci express slot, can you run two cards in sli with that fan?

tomos · 20 Feb 2006 at 16:33

yep, have my 7800 in the 1st slot (couldnt be bothered changing the jumpers), the other slot is free tho (no SLI for me)

blows that air all over the mobo too so helps cool my ram

WatchTower · 20 Feb 2006 at 18:13

Wow that realy brings home the size of it.

tomos · 20 Feb 2006 at 19:02

yep, just a warning. dont underestimate the delta

Or you will soon be missing some fingers

Had a 6000rpm coolermaster 60mm fan hit me and that cut. So a 38x120mm delta :eek:

Jokester · 20 Feb 2006 at 19:53

A focused flow Delta could quite easily take a finger tip off I would have thought, so use a guard just in case.

lol, them Delta's are still at it! Creating tornados, chopping fingers, demolishing anything in its way

badbob · 20 Feb 2006 at 21:48

woot just found a Thermaltake 12cm. 78cfm, 20dB. Perfect for CPU fan.
