SVC GC68 Coolers...Discontinued :(

[Wolfchild]

Well this sucks like an electrolux but I went to order some more of these today and they were gone from the site...called SVC and the GC68 coolers are discontinued

Since the GC69 seems eternally not available, are there any other inexpensive coolers that take 80mm fans like these did?

Damn, nothing even comes close for the price, and I could add LED fans to them when I had a windowed case, nice and quiet....

Speeze mades good cheap heatsinks.

How about a Thermalright ALX-800 for $16. Saw it in Hot Deals.

Well, there's the Thermaltake TR2-M1 with an 80mm tri-LED fan for $12 at SVC.

The GC69 does become available from time to time. I just bought one from them two weeks ago.

How about this Galaxy JVC652A unit for $4.99 from Nexfan.com? It uses a 70x70x15mm fan and an aluminum skivved heatsink. That heatsink should be able to make up for the smaller fan versus those GC68/69 coolers.

I have the gc68 for a year now. Worked good when I first got it. but with dust collecting so easily and it not be able to dissipate heat fast enough, the system is show signs of instability. I will replace the gc68 with the thermalright listed above. looks like a good price for the performance.

if its for someone else, yea, why not use a gc68, if its for yourself, just spend a little more for the good thermalright stuff just my 2 cents

Yeah, the Speeze Whisper Rock and Falcon Rock series are very similar and are pretty low priced at newegg et al.
