Replacing My Hsf

[adamp2p]

Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu Aluminum + Copper CPU Cooler
This one weighs less than the all-copper version, and still works on Socket A, Socket 478, and Socket 754. It’s big and won’t fit every board, but it's very effective and quiet.

Stay away from that one. It&#39;s not a standard fan so, not easy to replace.

I also don&#39;t like that one. Very noisy and I have installed a few similar to that one and was disappointed by the performance.

[abu_has_the_power]

ok. wat do u recommend that&#39;s under &#036;30?

[_John_Lennon_]

Abu, I have the AMD counterpart to that HS/F, that Im using RIGHT NOW. And it has adequate cooling, if u can stand to turn it up all the way.

Im not bashing my own new HS/F, but the thing is like a vaccum cleaner, and it serves about the same purpose.

Good cooler, but its loud on full speed. I will have to plug in the temp controlled setting later on tonight, see how that goes.

[abu_has_the_power]

thing is my idle temp is rising. and i don&#39;t wnat it to. i don&#39;t really care bout noise level. just fan speed and how much it can cool my cpu. can u guys recommend any under &#036;30?

[abu_has_the_power]

well, the thermaltake one says:

Application for Intel P4 478 FMB2, 3.2GHz and higher.

so unless u guys can come up with anything better, i might get this one

looks like the only bad review is the noise level

This is the first review I have written for NewEgg.com but I think this is a fan deserving of a little feedback. As far as cooing goes the Spark 7 is more than adequate.

It keeps my P-IV 3.06 Sub 100f even throughout an hour or 2 of Mafia or Tron 2.o...impressive.

It also terrifies my cats, keeps my fiance awake and emits a Jet engine-like scream.

Operating at anything above 4,200 rpm will deafen you...operating at anything beow 4,200 runs the risk of burning up your cpu. It as a real Catch-22.

Further, the fan speed control mechanism is very fragile. When switching from auto-adjust to manual configurations can be tricky.

I am sick of the sound and switching to the Zalman CNPS7000 ASAP.

and it keeps it under 100F after playing mafia or tron 2, thats not bad. not bad at all. i don&#39;t mind the noise. unless anyone can come up iwht something better, i&#39;m getting this one
