dan, I have a SI-97 installed on my 2800+ barton (@ 3200+) and it cools very well with a zalman 92mm @ 5V. I had one of those HT-101's with 2 papst 80mm 21db fans (push-->pull) installed. The temps with the HT-101 were 3 to 4 degrees (celsius) higher than with the SI-97 installed. So the SI-97 cools...

guys I've found this: Chieftec/Yate Loon http://www.ikbenstil.nl/index.php?cPath=27_225&osCsid=54b06df93707e3faabb26d2092777be8 It's in dutch but I'll translate the part under "Specifikaties" It says (model: D12SM-12): - "as good as inaudible" at 4.5V - possible to use with anti-vibration mounts. if...

My SI-97 heatsink just came in. I installed it on my Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2. Yes, the only motherboard that supposed to be incompatible for this heatsink. I don't have problems fitting it at all. The only thing you should mind is that you have to be absolutely sure that the clearance between the mot...

funny, I have the Gigabyte 7N400 Pro2 Rev2. I just ordered a SI-97, but I'm selling the motherboard anyway. So we'll see whether it fits or not .

@fourfa

you should consider the Aerocool HT-101, I had this one as well (sold it). It perfectly fits on it even when you use dual fans.

I'm really curious how the Noiseblocker SX1 120mm fan compares with the Nexus 120mm. The Noiseblocker is rated 38 CFM @ 17 dBa.

Which is better? The SP-97 is all copper with heatpipes, shouldn't it perform better than the SI-97? I haven't seen a direct comparison review. if you put some effort in it, you would've found this: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=15938&start=90 and this: http://forums.pimprig.com/...

martinlk, I find it really really difficult to tell weither your setup fits or not but I'll try to help. Recently I built a computer in a centurion 5 (asus a7n8x-e deluxe, thermalright SP97) also with the socket at the very top of the motherboard. I must say that there's a lot of clearance between t...

Abula,

I think this will answer your question
