I currently have a coolermaster ep506i11, and a thermaltake volcanoII. Now, I need to decide which HSF to put for a 1G Athlon and a 1.2Athlon.
AMD's site rates the 6i11 for 1.4, and volcano2 for 1.33. It does make sense since the 6i11 is much larger. However, the fan for the 6i11 is rated 21.19CFM and volcano2 36cfm. So the volcano's fan is much better.
So, I decided to take the [volcano2's Heat sink + the 6i11's stock fan], and place that into the 1.0 Athlon. The remaining [6i11's Heat sink + volcano2's fan] will be used for the 1.2 Athlon.
What's your take on my situation? Should I buy new 60mm fans instead? Is it dangerous to use my suggested HSF combo for the 1.0 Athlon, since I'm underpowering the HSF?
