A question about one of PC Toys's Coolers...

Anyone had any experience with this cooling fan before? Any good or bad experiences? Currently I'm using Thermaltake Volcano 7 and I'm just curious if this one will surpass the Thermaltake Volcano 7 as far as performance and quietness is concerned.

If anyone has any reviews to share, please feel free to post any links for reviews of the Referrer URL to a cooler that I was going to consider.

I have checked out the Zalman version of this cooler and while it is not tops in cooling, it is very quiet. It is a respectable option, but I wouldn't use it if you overclock.

Yes, i own it.

PCToys is a great company, not just saying that because i know him in a way, but it is the Zalman cooler.

Same machine different coolers (Machine 1: SLK-800 /w SmartFan2 2600RPM - Machine 2: Zalman Cooler)

M1 - 44C Full load (2100XP Overclocked to 2700XP, 2.1Ghz)
M2 - 44C Full load (2100XP Stock speeds)

Both with AS3 applied good..

I just recently got one of those too, cept it was the Zalman flavor, also all copper. I researched alot and posted a forum here awhile ago before i went out to actually get it.

I'm running a XP 1800+ and it keeps my temp at about 44c, which is good enough for me. My Main reason for getting it was to make my comp quieter, which it did.

I also used AS3, works great.

Also, quiet wise, it is ok, same sound as my 2600RPM smartcase fan
