A question on a HS and HSF

[ankitpayal]

I am buying a ThermalRight SK6 heat sink. Is the Sunon 60mm fan (High Speed) a good choice? I will be running an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ on a Soyo Dragon Plus MoBo.

The Fan is 5th from the top

I am looking for something quiet and powerful. The Sunon is 5100 RPM, 23 CFM, and 31 dba. Any other suggestions?

I suggest the Alpha PAL8045 with a 40+CFM fan. The SK6 is old news

I'd suggest the ytech fan. not the ultra high speed one. But the normal one. i'm sure you can live with 4 more db in noise. =) and besides, the added CFM will really help cool ur hot 1800+ that's for sure.

or get the pal8045 like flowerman suggested =)

Will the 8045 fit on the Dragon +. It didn't fit on the original Dragon.

I've heard it does fit on the Dragon+ because they moved a capacitor..

I had the SK-6 and used botht he 38cfm and the 39cfm Delta fans on it. I couldn't hear either over mny Sunon 120mm fan, so I cant tell ya how loud each was, but there was only a difference of like 1 or 2 degrees C between the two. I'd recommend ther 30cfm.
