Molex vs. Thermoengine

[JPT]

I've been looking around for a couple of days but can't decide between the two. I want something quiet that will take a Tbird 1.33 to about ~1.5. Both of these are apparently able to do it. Any suggestions/comments?
Thanks!

Molex = Antec Jetcool, Tried it. Might work if you don't have to raise the core voltage, but not if you do. Didn't work for my TBird 1.2 to 1.4 o/c. I'm sending it back.

Where did you get it? How much was it?
Thanks for your reply!

CompUSA for $30. I was singularly unimpressed by it. You can get a lot more HSF for less money !

You might wanna look into the sk-6 or the gladiator from svc if you are not looking to spend a whole lot of money. But i gotta say that i love my big daddy...mc-462a by swiftech (80 bucks tho)

Yes, I've looked at those but I prefer a quiet pc not so overclocked to a small airplane taking off in my room...

Get the Thermalright SK-6 as was mentioned. Put a 30cfm +/- fan on it and it will work well for what you want. I have one with a 30 cfm fan from Tai-Sol and it keeps my 1.33 temps way down. Not as loud as the Delta either. I got the fan off a Tai-Sol 760092B that a friend bought, but you can find them elsewhere.

You can buy a WBK38 and mount a 80mm fan on it...get an 80mm with similar output to the delta. Being an 80mm, the noise will be VERY low (I can barely hear it).

What do you guys think of a Swiftech MCX370 + thermaltake 60mm? Seems to be a pretty quiet fan with an acceptable 31CFM...

The Thermaltake is a good fan. I have it on the other system I am building with a Tai-Sol 760092 Heatsink and it works well. The temps are close to matching my setup with the SK-6. The MCX 370 has had good reviews also. You should have no problems with that combo.

Thank you for your input. I'll go for the Swiftech with the thermaltake fan - it'll end up at about $40.
