SLK-800 vs. Aero 7+

[upsciLLion]

Which would be better for OCing a Barton 2500+? I want to have low noise, so I'd probably use a 30 dB fan on the SLK.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

definitely the SLK-800.

The aero 7 can't beat an sk7. No, it does not compare with an slk800.

i wish there was a poll, slk800 would be 100%

 

[infinite012]

yeah. gotta love these bulky bolt on cpu coolers that you won't take off for months/years to come. unless you fry a cpu...

slk-800u w/panaflo l1a. i just gotta change my psu to make my computer silent(er)

You guys are rad. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how my 2500+ turns out when/if I get it!

Any quick recommendations for fans that would give me a good balance between noise and airflow?

Thanks,

It depends on your definition of quiet. For most the adjustable smartfan2 gets quiet enough to where you can't notice it over the other computer noise. The panaflo L1a is just a better quality fan and is quieter. allelectronics.com for the panaflo, svc.com for the smartfan2

 

[Supa]

The noise from Thermaltake SmartFan2 (with SK-7) is unnoticeable 2600 rpm or below in my Sonata. Although if you turn all the way up (up to 4800), it is very very noisy. I heard Panaflo is quiet, but it doesn't move a lot of air. Anyone tried Antec SmartCool yet?

i vote the Panaflo L1A...........good airflow and quiet too
or maybe the Y. S. Tech adjustable

SLK-800 + YS-Tech Silent 80mm (27CFM, 20dBa)

 

[upsciLLion]

I don't necessarily need silent. I need a fan that will push decent CFM without being TOO loud. I'm sorta leaning towards the Smart Fan II right now because it's flexible.

ups

slk800 + smart fan II (or i think theres an enermax adjustable...??...bah, screw it...thermaltake it is lol)
