GlobalWin FOP38, Hedgehog 238, or Taisol CGK742092?

[mans]

Please help as I am going to order today. Which is better in performance/noise ration (regardless of cost)?

Thanks

Get the Taisol, the noise from the fan on the others is allegedly unbearable to many people. I've seen it described as whining, howling and/or screaming, so be advised.

wheres the best place to get the Taisols?

I'd have to say whatever people say about the noise of the FOP38 is an understatement. I have one that MBM says is doing 7500RPM and it sounds like a vaccuum cleaner, but it's an extremely effective fan (It is unbearable to many, but personally I sleep about 5 feet from this system.)

Definately go with the TaiSol if it fits your board because the others are simply too loud.

Thank you all. I decided to wait and not to order now! Will TaiSol fit on A7V? Another question, what about Alpha PAL6035?

I am running T-bird 950@950 and using (tha bad) Themraltake Chrome Orb with a second 80mm fan on top of the heatsink! In addition, I have two 80mm case fans, PSU fan, and vga card's fan! In idle, the CPU is 120-122F!

FOP38 is a very good cooler for the price = ) ...
