What fan and Heat sink to choose

[Guy77Malette]

Hi all i have a question what heatsink/fan should i use to cool my 1600+ xp precessor i have been sugested therm, Volcano 7 is that ok or should i buy better

buy a better one... my opinion

some good contenders:

Vantec 6035
Vantec 6027
Alpha 8045
Thermalright SK-6
Swiftech MCX-370

but depending on your threshold for "noise"
i think the delta fan isn't that loud... others b!tch and whine about how loud it is... it just depends on the person but remember that the delta has high CFMs.. noise is a small price to pay for cooling

if your board fits, get the alpha 8045 with a panaflo l1a, m1a or h1a. If you want the ultimate cooling solution, either get the mcx462 with the above panaflo fans, or go for water, which is silent!!

I vote for the Alpha, if your board will fit it. I use an enermax adjustable fan on mine and am very happy with that combo.
