volcano 11

[jmg823]

is the volcano 11 capable of bring a 2500+barton to the 3000+ or even the 2800+ speed?
(i dont want to push it too far)

Personally, I wouldnt go for any ThermalTake heatsink, Id be more inclined to go for a SLK heatsink, if you can afford it. If you cant GlobalWin make some nice coolers.

I agree. If you are not able to spend $30+ though on a SLK 800,900,947 etc, heatsink then I do recommend the Volcano 7+ or the SK-7 heatsinks. Both are solid copper and the Volcano 7+ has an adjustable fan on it. I believe they ship out with a Smartfan II. Mine did anyway. Only $19.99 at Newegg and for most locations it's free Fedex Saver shipping. (2-3 days)

the volcano 11 also has a fan speed adjuster and it is capable of cooling the "3400+"

i have benched using one of them with my xp2700 at 24xx @ 1.85 on an NF7-s and after benching the temps were 44c


at idle with an ambient ttemp of 22c its only 34c.............. i am sure a SLK would only knock a few more c off but its 2.5 times the price

Looks OK to me and if you don't mind spending $30 then I would say go for it. If you aren't going to max out your CPU then this should work well for you.

Keep us posted eh?

volcano 11 bad coolings,with Barton 2200 he will work,will however be a noise,better buying Igloo 2500Pro

I'm Vocalno 11 at 213*11 and temp is aroun 55 on load, 46 idle and it's so loud. For me it's just ok at that price and performance.

I think for your price range the thermalright sk-7 is the best idea. Maybe the thermalright alx-800 would fit in your price range too (25bucks at www.svc.com last time I checked). The alx-800 is supposed to cool just as well if not better than the slk800u

Umm an aluminum version of a copper heatsink will perform noticably worse than the origional. It looks pretty decent for a hybrid sink (Mostly due to the entire base being copper not just an insert). But I'd wager with a decent fan on an overclocked barton a slk-800 will have a good 3-5 degrees under it.

Dont waste your money on that Red Chinese junk. Buy a Thermalright SLK 900 or 947

I get those temps on my 2400 on stock cooling :)

slk900a here w/ a barton 2800 @ 228x11
100% load = 40 celcuis

thermalright is the way to go for air cooling

ya i got it now and ill run f@h for an hour or so then check temps with it

also some as5 would knock more degrees off cause i dont think i applyed the thermal paste very good the first time i did it

Kind of impressed with the Silent Volcano. Cooling down a Barton 2600+ a tad better than my SLK-800a did. Weird.
