ALPHA HEATSINK FAN: sunon or sanyo????

[Maverick2002]

ok im overclocking my duron and my coolermaster just wont suffice any more
i went over to INFLOW DIRECT and they had a alpha with sunon fan, with the option
of upgrading to a delta or a sanyo fan for extra $$$$.
i dont want to get the delta because it says that it takes up about 4 watts of power, and that most mobos
cant handle that much juice, so ide have to get a 3-4 pin adapter, and i need a 3-pin.
now as for the sanyo, they claim that its ultra quiet.
i have a sunon and im happy with it (80mm fan), so i need to know about the quality of the sanyo fan and if its worth getting.

thx

From this statement you seem to think that Sunon and Sanyo Denki are the same. Not so. Yes, Sanyo Denkis are great fans, silent.

Yeah, yeah, Delta fans need a lot of power blah blah.... I have KT7 and PAL6035 with the delta fan. I plugged it into the motherboard and it works fine. I don't see a need for a 3-4 pin convereter cable, they just want more money. Get the delta fan, definitely - if you plan to overclock. It's a bit loud, but you get used to it.
