Did you already buy the SK6, cause id recommend a different type of HS if your going for a quiet setup. The SK6 works best with a high CFM (loud) fan, a hybred 2 part alumnuim/copper base sinks works better with low noise fans, like a Alpha 6035, PEP66, Taisol 760, Thermalright CB-6L, but not so great with a high CFM fan as the SK6 would. Depends what CPU your running to give any recommendations, a popular favorite trade off between low noise and decent cfm would be the Sanyo Denki H speed.

A popular alternative to the Delta screamer on the SK-6 is the retail packaged Thermaltake 6025. They claim it as rated as 31 CFM 27 dB(A). There's annecdotal evidence that these ratings (unlike the ones for their Volcano fan) are accurate as far as CFM goes.

I've only seen it at handful of vendors though.


Say Gizzo, I found lots of useful info at your site; I like it a lot. One question though, where are the high CFM 60MM Deltas?
