Volcano 11

Anyone know if this is a good cooler?

I personally have learned to stay away from Thermaltake. It seems like their airflow and noise specs are always off. Although the Volcano 11 may be a fine cooler, I would stick with like an Alpha 8045 or SLK-800 and just stick any fan on top depending on your cooling needs and your noise tolerance.

EDIT: Well Thermaltake says it is good for up to an XP 3400+, which doesn't even exist yet, so I'm sure it will work good.

Well, I would think most coolers would be able to handle a 3400+, it just depends on what fan they are using. A GC68 could probably cool it if it had a 80CFM Tornado. I agree with you though, it would probably better to stick with a SLK-800. Thermaltake projects are garbage. The V7, V7+, V9, and dragon orbs all seem to be rather substandard.

I hear that the V11 is way too heavy and expensive too. A lot like the V7+.

i own a V7+.but i would prefer a SLK-800. But i don't have a choice because it's too expensive

SLK800 costs the same as volcano 11.. SLK kills the volcano 11.. therefore stay away from it..
