i think you just spin the fan 45 degrees, and use the larger clips on them, i've seen it done before.

Is there a big advantage to the SK7 vs. say the following Thermaltake HSF?

I'm unlikely to overclock (although the capability would be nice), and would prefer low noise vs. supercooling. So I figure an integrated HSF would be more appropriate.

thermaltakes, are noisy from what i know, but with the fan i got on the slk600, DANG, didnt know fans, that arent black-labels, are that loud!

guess i will hope that the mobo can do fan voltage limitaions, or maybe i will put speed fan on it and adjust them through it.

the thermalright, is a better heatsink overall, thermal takes are noisy, and inefficient irc.

Quiet fan = less air flow, just that simple.

Get a good YS Tech fan. Best mix of low noise and decent air flow. I am running my SK-6+ with it now (non overclocked). It came with a black label Delta, my gawd, a harrier jumpjet has nothing on this noise.

I think I'm going to order the SK-7. How well would the PC Power & Cooling Silencer fan work with it?

I have this HSF it works good I use an 80 mm ajustable speed fan too. To get itto fit you just turn the fan 45 degrees and use the clicps side ways no need for an additional adapter you can though. My XP1700 @ XP2000 and 1.6 volts runs in he low 30's idle some nightswere it a bit chilier I have had it at 25 C. When its stressed I havn't seen it above 40C ever.

It's not the review. It's a tip! Basically the fan is mounted diagonally and the clips fit over the corners, rather than the sides.

Anyone using this successfully on a XP2100+ running at 2600?

Not sure what you mean by "integrated." The Thermaltake HSF you mentioned is aluminum with a copper base. The Thermalright is all copper, which is generally better (Cu better conductor than Al).

wow, this is my most popular hot deals thread EVER.

and be fore-warned, the ys-tech 60mm fan on svc is not quite by any means. it is noisier than my whole computer! (4 fans 80mm h2o cooling though) but it is noisy, gunna have to lower the voltage on it so the customer is happy. and the uv reactant fans they have are quite, and seem to flow decent amount of air.

Anyone have a direct URL? Thanks!

I'm doing this currently. Just turn the fan 45 degrees relative to the cpu and pull the clips over the corners of the fan. I had bought a delta, but couldn't stand the noise, so I switched to a case fan. Much quieter and keeps my 1700+ frosty.

$5.50 shipping (so far) is quite reasonable, but a HSF, AS3, a copper shim, etc. is going to end up costing more than I paid for the CPU. :\

What I mean is I'm not a tweaker, so a modest pre-assembled HSF would be adequate for my needs. However, I'll go along with the AT crowd, and go for a premium heat-sink this time. Still trying to stay under budget, so I'll just use a spare Antec case fan I have, or maybe the PC Power & Cooling Silencer case fan from an old PC.
