Which Cpu cooler is the best ?


Recommended Posts

Why go silent when you can make the whole neighborhood wake up when you power on the computer? Buy 5 or some odd tornados and throw them in there. Not only will you have your own personalized hovercraft for a computer, you'll keep the cops busy with all of the noise complaints.

haha that idea really made my evening complete.... the image formed in my mind....

With all the fans, just put the computer on the side, and the computer will float in mid-air because of the air pressure out of the box...... hahahahahahaha!!!!! :laugh:

req: i assume you mean, what heatsink AND fan combos... because i've never herd of someone just changing the fan on the retail heatsink.

get a thermaltake silentboost, or an slk-800/900 with a panaflo L1A silent fan.

sure i'm not gonna change fan on my stock heatsink, doesn't make sense right :)

i could buy separately or combo (like thermaltake volcano 9)

Yeah that's funny :huh:

what about that , tell me to your addr. and i'll move to your next door?? :rofl:

Well.. i've been reading reviews here and there online and the best combo i found (and using it myself =P) is the Thermalright SLK900U with Enermax UC-9FAB. This fan boasts 60+ CFM's at only around 40 dB's? correct me if im wrong. But it's a Lot quieter than the stock one that i had and it's a lot cooler too!

I have 2 tornados in my computer, soon to be 3 (the third one has been sitting outside wanting to wake the neighborhood for so long). No, really though, I have 2 tornados connected to a fan controller. Right now the 92mm is unplugged because I can't deal with the vibrations from it against the steel of my case. I do plan on buying another 92mm though, as soon as I get my DFI LanParty so that it'll sit on top of my SLK-900A like it's supposed to.

you poor bugger......... i used to run 2 vantec tornados as case fans.. one on a blow hole, and one on my thermalright sk7 voltage was at 17-24, hit 7000 rpm+

wass cool... but drove me to h20 after a few months

i second that.

its cool and quite. I used to run a volcano 11+... it ran warmer and pretty freeking loud.

I'm behind that.

I got a few people to switch to Vantec Aeroflow, cause it is the best quietest one for the money. Outstanding...IMO. (Y)

Eh, right now I can't hear the tornado at all. I have it turned all the way down to minimal voltage, and have music running. If I was really into extreme quiet, then I'm sure I'd go watercooling, but as it is, the hum isn't that bad when it's all the way down. It's when you turn the damn thing all the way up that it makes it sound like a helicopter is taking off in your computer.

And you will need to supliment these with at least 12 delta fans for that added harley davidson sound :D

I think im gonna buy vantec aeroflow.everyone is saying "cooling excellently and quietly".

plus its cheap enougt to buy.

Excellent choice! (Y) You will be blown away just taking it out of the package, I was, and so were others, it really is awesome! With my quiet HD, the only thing I currently hear is my case fan, which I am going to replace with a Vantec Steath fan. :D

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
