Vantec Aeroflow

[friedpie]

Does anyone have this unit? I have been very intrigued by it. I think it would be a nice because it uses a copper core and that TMD fan motor.

I have read a number of reviews but almost none of the systems in the reviews were OC. I wonder how this unit would work with one of those 1.5v 1700s from SVC pushed to its limit?

Thanks for any feedback.

p.s. link to it

I've been using one since Jan, doing a modest oc (up to 175fsb) and temps only rose 3c. It's quieter than my last setup and works just as well. Only drawback seems to be that the mobo sensor has fits reading the rpm from the fan, I ended up hooking directly into the psu instead of the onboard hookup. Has something to do with the variable speed ability of the fan.

Interesting question ... I've been running one on my Barton XP2500+ on an Asus A7N8X and it works superbly. Even with a "mild" OC to 2800+ speeds, it keeps idle temps around 36-37 C (41-42 C under peak load). The asus probe registers the RPMs fine on my board.

I've been thinking of getting one for my son's 1.5V 1800+ ... I can't take that one much beyond 2000+ speeds (with a 333FSB) with the stock HSF without hitting peak loads of about 60 C (which runs perfectly stable). I know it's got farther to go however ... I can take it up to near 2300+ speeds with higher voltages, but the thing becomes unstable under peak loads (i.e. once it hits the high 60s, you are in for problems). I'm sure the Aeroflow will work wonders for you there.
