Which one of those three choices would work best?

I'm trying to get good HSF performance, at <30 price.

The Thermoengine seems almost too good to be true...numerous sites gave it raging reviews, except for www.overclockers.com...i believe they (and others) quoted some design thing w/the thermo that makes it seem to perform better.

the taisol seems to be a fairly good unit all around, although it is more expensive than the other choices.

and last...the WBK38 is what im going with right now...i just thought i make sure im making a good decision before I buy 🙂
Many others have reported success with a wbk38 w/a 80mm fan- performance like the delta, but with A LOT less noise (which is also a major concern)

thanks,

hey.

it's me again w/ the wbk. well, now i've taken my 80mm off and put my 92mm on it. similar performance for cpu but my northbridge hs don't have a fan on it. so the 92 helps w/ that.

just a thought. 🙂

oh btw, the dead spot, the motor on my 92mm is actually smaller than the dead spot, motor, on my 80 mm. food for thought.
 
can you mount a 92mm fan on the wbk without any problems? like do the fan clips support a 92mm without having to make any major changes?

I have an 80mm 47cfm panaflo fan on my taisol CGK760. It goes over the entire 80mm of the heatsink instead of just the 60mm like other adapters do.
