This is still the best. Apparently you can fit a 92mm fan on it as well, if you put it diagonally.

hmm, worth a try, i think i have a 92mm lying around, to try it with anyways!
i JUST put my SLK800 and 92 mm Tornado into operation. Seems to be running ok. It fit just like you would put any other fan on it. So far im seeing about a 5-10*C drop under full load (folding) with the Tornado blowing INTO the heatsink. Its a little loud yeah but i think it'll serve me great as i overclock this machine.
Ill let you guys know in a few hours/ days how its running

Okey, thanx for the help!
btw - 200th post!!:toast: :stick: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Welp 3 hours later, Im seeing 38*C before i was seeing 42/43 so who knows, i could probably get more, but i put some dampening into my case at the same time, as i heard that the Tornado was so loud. i THINK that could have added a degree or 2.
Next Investment is gona be a fan controller

What did you have before POGO, I have an AX7 and I'm debating between just grabbing an SLK 800 to tide me over till I get the nerve up to do a full water plunge.
a POS No name heatsink with about a 60 mm fan on top. Id say its worth the investment. Im doing the same thing, this is tiding me over till go to WC

Thanks POGO I may grab one next order to Newegg then, Cause my AX7 and a Delta 80mm are keeping me right around 43-44C under full load at 2.1 volt right now so a SLK 800 and a Tornado 92mm should get me a few more Degrees.

Man I would kill for that full load temp Dapper, I'm running at 49C full load folding! Just got an AX7 but it's not going to be on the same CPU as my Volcano 9 that sucks royal ass!!
Update: its 1 am EST on 1/10/03 and my temps have gone down yet again. 36*c under full folding load. Motherboard is at 29*c and the room is 25*c . Machine has been at full load for JUST over 4 days.
