what's better: slk-a or aeroflow

[mato7742]

i'm thinking about replacing my vantec aeroflow with a thermalright slk-a hs, i'm not sure what fan to use on it though? i do use my comp pretty rigorously. overclocking, games, etc. so, should i get an 80 mm or 92mm? should i get vantec tornado's or.. something else? i dunno! throw your opinions out guys, because i need them.

sigh.. i seriously can't post today. i meant to put slk900-a if that makes a difference?

is this a joke? the SLK-900A destroys the aeroflow, it's one of the best heatsink second best after the SP-97 for AMD. For the fan it's up to you, if you want quiet cooling well get the Panaflo 92mm M1A 48CFM 30dba or H1A 56.8CFM 35dba. If you want power get the Vantec Tornado 92mm 119CFM!!! 56.4dba

He wants to know if the fan from the Aeroflow is enough, not if the SLK-900A is a better heatsink. IMO, the Aeroflow's fan is pretty good, but if you want low noise, then get a 92mm Panaflo or something similar.

I agree - The SLK900 will kill the Aeroflow

I got pretty good results with a Vanted aeroflow HSF. CPU temps stay b/w 35 to 49C and noise is acceptable.
