AMD stock fan


Recommended Posts

Hey. I have an XP1900.

The stock fan should do just fine for regular use.

But i have a little box fan blowing on the whole case just to help out, with all the HDD and stuff.

With the box fan and stock cooler it runs 43?c

If i turn off the fan, it gets around high 50's. I have the computer turn off at 70?c but it has never reached that.

Im going to be getting a volcano 9 very soon..

It puts out about 75.7cfm. I will let ya know how that goes.

Its not really THAT loud..

If your worried about noise, then you shouldnt get an Athlon.. ;)

I would go ahead and get the Volcano 7.. Just because the stock fan that comes with cpu's generally is just enough to get by.. (in my opinion)

The volcano 7 puts out around 45cfm.

Like i said before the Volcano 9 puts out around 75cfm.

Big Difference, if your not worried about noise, go with the volcano 9.

Otherwise get a watercooled P4. :s

I actually just build a machine for someone today and i went with an OEM Athlon XP 1600+ and a volcano 7 heatsink. His case has pretty poor ventallation and the cpu got up to a max load temp of 46 C :)
