[aphex]

First Impressions...

-Awesome Box
-This thing is HEAVY/BIG
-I can see the machining on the copper bottom, (hell, i can even feel it... Looks like circular grooves), but im not into lapping so i wont worry about that for now...


I'll post my results in a few, gonna install it right now...

Yea its packaged really well and it is heavy, I didnt get my 80CFM delta to test it yet grrr I will have to check with my sponsor again

 

[aphex]

Well using the 36 cfm Sunon fan, im getting the same temps as earlier... 54C (CPU) and 34C (Case)

Overall, im very pleased with it... I can HEAR AGAIN!!!

does it work better than an alpha pal8045? cuz im debating whether to go with the ax7 or the pal8045. its a good things its QUIET!

 

[aphex]

An Alpha wont fit on my mobo, so i wouldnt be able to tell ya... sorry

<< An Alpha wont fit on my mobo, so i wouldnt be able to tell ya... sorry >>



oh, thats okay. i guess im leaning towards the ax7, cuz someone reocmended me it. and since it wont fit ur mobo, i have doubts it will fit mine..heh

I prefer any heatsink that mounts to the mobo instead of the clips, and would recommend the Alpha PAL8045 over the AX-7 whenever the mobo will support it. The PAL8045 should fit the k7s5a you had listed in your sig, though I'm not 100% sure.

talked to my sponsor, should have my Delta tomorrow to test the AX7

Thermalright is not stupid... they wouldn't design a hsf that doesn't click on right to ur socket and have it fall off. They would be getting so many complaints and lose their reputations.

Anyway, I love my AX7 too. It's quiet and cools well, I'm getting temps around 30 C with a YSTECH, 37 cfm fan... dude this fan is quiet, only 30 dbA.
