So im buying a new heatsink

goldeye59 · 02-March-03, 01:26 AM

Im running a 1.4gig AMD XP. NOT OC'ing. Im looking for the quietest heatsink i can find that will keep it relativley cool on an open case. What do you guys suggest?

I would say a SK7 with a high flow low DB 80mm on it. Best bang for the buck.

Akita: What would be a good high flow low decibel 80mm fan? Something like a Panaflow or umm.... I don't really even know. I'm thinkin about ditchin this retail sink pretty soon... its just fugly.

The Sanyo Denki or Panaflo fans impress me. I use a Panaflo on my wife's SK7. Very effective and very quiet. With the sides on and the fan cranked up, I can barely hear it. Not like some of the 60mm screamers I used to use.

Edit: You are looking for a CFM of 38 or better when you are talking high performance 80mm fans.
