Hey, retail heatsinks ARE crap. They usually don't even use thermal glue, just that stupid black cracking rubber sticker THING. |

It's only the retail (IMO crappy) heatsinks that you have to worry about the hair dryer fans. I'm sure its MUCH better than what you had, but if you want quiet, you should have gotten a 60mm to 92mm adapter and a Panaflo. Then that system would be near dead silent. It looks good though, I'm sure it's a lot less annoying now :) PS - don't anyone jump down my throat about calling retail heatsinks crap. I just either a) overclock the hell out of my systems, or b) want them as quiet as possible, so the retail heatsinks are a no no for me. --- End quote --- Hey when the motherboard cost $100 I would expect no less than a cheap heatsink. |

Oh of course. It just, IMO, no matter how cheap you get a computer/motherboard/whatever, a good heatsink is always $20 well spent. |

My aftermarket heatsink works just fine at the lowest speed setting. If I turn the speed all the way up, it sounds just like a leaf blower (no joke). |
| Edgedamage:
Hmmm would that be a volcano 7? With the three speed fan switch. |
