Volcano 6 Cu and AMD XP 1700+???
Upgrading the system to a XP1700+
Wondering if the 6 Cu is the way to go.
I have a delta fan that is way to loud right now, but love to overclock.
Looking for a balance between oc and quiet to some degree.

Don't get a Volcano 6, get a Thermal Integration V77L. I have one and it works great. My load temp is 39C on my non-OCed Xp2000.
You can find it for $18 here.
If you want even higher performance, an all copper thermalright heatsink would work great. They start around $25 without a fan.
<edit> whoops, outa stock at newegg. www.thecardcooler.com has the V77L for cheap in their heatsink section. I got my V77L from them.
This is where my signature would go if I wasn't so lazy.

Welcome to Sysopt!
As Giblet said, the TI-V77L is a good heatsink. Now that it's colder here in Southern California, I get idle temps at 35C and load at 39C on my non-oc'ed XP 1600+.

hmmfp, looks pretty cool and newegg carries it. Two pluses!
Nice and quiet?
Definitely appears to keep things cool. Most of the reviews I was reading on the thermaltake pushed it just under 50C.

7string is moab two, somehow logged under the wrong ID FYI.
How about the Vantec Aeroflow?

I hear it's not bad, but it is more expensive. The noise level rates around the same as the TI-V77L. A review at frostytech.com:

Here's the Volcano 6cu review, if you're curious how it relates to the V77L.

If you don't mind noise, the Thermal Integration V77N would perform even better than the V77L.

Ok, scrap the Thermaltake cu6 thingy.
I see that the Vantec aeroflow and thermal integration v77L are very similar in performance, and the TI at a much cheaper price.
Any input on the Thermalright SLK-700? This seems to be in the same arena with these other two.

With the right fan, the slk-7 is a little better than the v77L. Keep in mind that the "right fan" is a bit noisier, too.

The TT 6Cu is an EXCELLENT cooler. I have this cooler on my XP2100+. Runs at 43C - idle and 48C under full load. And ......... real quiet @ only 31 dBa.
Given enough time & money,

Go for it!
Treat yourself to a nice copper thermalright slk-7 and a quiet 80mm fan.

Hmm, I'm at 29C right now with my V77L. Once I turn folding@home on I'll get up to maybe 38C. Ambient in 26C right now.

Hmm and that's at 1.86 or whatever you have it OCed to, right?

That's at 1.8V and 144 fsb
I plan to use 1.85V with my watercooling system. 1.85V is a bit much for a heatsink/fan.
