160 grams cables and dust (old fan) included. One of these Delta's

to stand under my desk and hold my PC upright. My Scythe Mine weights
638 grams with the fan. The GeminII weights 847 grams plus 410 grams
times 2 = 1667 grams or 3.72 lbs. I better go to the gym and look
for a little person :-)

And I was thinking my Hyper 48 was a bit on the Heavy......Dang!! It shure looks cool as heck!

I'd think a good feature would be a rack that bolts against the card cages (the old Zalman heatsinks used to use things like that to hold the fan) and the other end would support the corner or bottom of the heatsink.

1029 to the Tower. I'm ready for take off. HeHeHe. These Deltas are pretty
damn loud. I can barely hear the beep when the system posts :-)
Here's a few pic's :-)


Here's my idle temp


And under full load after 15 minutes


I'm positive I can get my idle temps in the 20's. I'll just have to turn
the thermostat down some :-)

Looking good Slaymate, This is certainly one of the top3 heatsinks ATM. Though I reckon that new ThermalRight will own. I (its my dad's really) have that thermomitor aswell!

I like the look of that cooler as It looks like It would be very good for passive/low noise cooling of slower undervolted chips due to it's size and fin spacing.

Thanks Slaymate i kind of curious to see if it would be way to big to put on a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard in one of my UFO case, i do not think it would be a problem, but would like to make sure if i was to decide on getting one of these big bad boys it would fit.

I have been looking at a couple diferrent ones as of right now,
here our my choices if i do not get the GeminiII.

Zalman CNPS9500 AM2


Zalman FS-C77 Fatality

Scythe SCASM-1000

At the moment I have these Delta fans on it. There 38mm x 120mm instead of the
usual 25mm x 120mm. But I'm looking at 5", 5-1/8" at the most. Another point of
interest to consider is, mount the fans to line up vertical instead of Horizontal. The
fan assembly is slide-able/adjustable. I'll also try that mounting position when all my
fans arrive :-)

Edit: an while you've already won once so the odds are against you. But when Hell
comes back on line (this week I hope). I'll be giving away these 2 heatsinks in the
near future :-)
Newegg.com - Scythe SCMN-1000 100mm Sleeve CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink - Retail

Newegg.com - Scythe SCNJ-1100P CPU Cooling Fan - Retail

I was wondering what happen to site, i was going to ask you what happen since i could not get on for the last couple days, i will make sure i enter the contest but like you said the odds of me winning might be against me since i already won on a recent contest i had enter not to long ago.
The two heatsink you posted do you have a preference on which one you would prefer of the 2.

I bought the Ninja 1st, which is the 2nd link. It's really more of a silent HS
than a performance HS. The addition of a fan helps, but more cfm's not so
much. The fins are spaced to far apart to be effective. The Scythe Mine is
a good HS. It's large, but not as big as some. I'd use it still but I'm gonna
have to stick to this new GeminII. My Silverstone fans have come in. More
pic's to come :-)

Nice temps. Relative fan noise vs other fans?

HaHaHa. The Silverstones are like a nice spring day. The Delta's are like a
Huricane storm surge :-)
I have a noise meter coming, I'll list some numbers when I get them :-)
