which fan should I get?

[fluffycow]

I want quiet and good overclocking, which should I get? :


Sibak AC-02-625B

7000rpm
44dBa
38 cfm fan

Idle: 30 Degrees Celsius
Load: 32 Degrees Celsius

Arkua 628

33dBa
23cfm

Idle: 31 Degrees Celsius
Load: 33 Degrees Celsius

Or should I get something else? Are these results right? I just want peace and quiet with very good cooling at the same time.

No, Serious, if you can use a 70mm Footprint, I'm going to recommend the he11 out of Y S techs new Magnetic Tip Fans.

No really, everyone should have one of these o.o

I swear! This thing has fricken blown my mind, and it only cost me about what, 15.00? 18.00 including a P4 heatsink?

its Doin this currently:

9275 RPM
around 30-33 db
Fun Fun Gyroscopic motion, it likes to do tricks in your hand!
probably a CFM way better then the 23 CFM one.

Really, I'm not joking. The Fan also has redundant circuits to protect itself from burning out when jammed.

they say it has a lifespan of 80,000 Hours over at YS techs website too.


Yeah, you folks are probably gonna hear about this quite a bit :P

Ive got an athlon thoough. Anyone have a link to a good hsf roundup? thats what I really need :( .

[Dracas]

Yeah I know you do - however, I'm pestering Thermaltake for one of their Volcano 7+ heatsinks that'll take the 70mm fans since SwiftTechs Socket 462 heatsinks don't come with the Y S tech Fan like their Socket 478 Heatsinks do.

But, if you're looking for a heatsink roundup - heres a good one:

http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1279

Theres several more out there and if I could find the "42 Heatsink Round up" again, I'd pass that along to you, currently trying to find it

[fluffycow]

ok, thanks for roundup. So far im going with the "golden orb". More help still really appreciated. I need a quiet and very effective cpu cooler becuase im going to be overclocking. I don't want to be able to hear it with my headphones on though :). If you could find that other roundup, im sure it would help too.

Thks for all the help :t :t

Me again :t
Any idea when the 80mm will get released? I checked the links you posted on another thread... I was hoping the vendor you bought from might have had some "unpublished" release data info.
TIA

Jmichna, I'd recommend going here (http://www.ystech.com.tw/Tmd/tmd-3.htm) and reading the TMD Fan FAQ

Says the 80x80x25mm Fans are due out at the end of this month.

SwiftTech 462 with 80mm TMD......:r :r :r

:eek:
Must...get...one...

Theres also a modified 70mm version due out, that doesn't have the Metal plate covering the top of the fan, so you can see all zee leetle intreecate mechanishms eenside. :)

As for the 60x60x25mm Fans...I guess they were a little confused about where in their warehouse they'd stored the 60mm fans...

Quoted from their website:

May to June: 60x60x25mm, 80x80x25mm T.M.D. FAN will be released to the market. These two dimensions are targeted for AMD CPU cooler and case cooling.

May to June? Its August - wheres the 60mm ones? Whacky people :)

To Fluff and Moo: Couldn't ind the 42 HSF roundup, sorry about that =( =( =(
