What HS ???

[Bosse]

Hi i have one falconrock II HS and fan and a Volcano 9. The smartfan II from volcano 9 is by far the best fan, but which one of the hs should i use ??

if I were you I'd go out and buy a SLK900A. Well between what you have, Falconrock 2 with SCF2 is probably the best choice.

Either the slk900 or slk947 from thermalright would do the trick.

F-DISK-Format-Reinstal DO DA!! DO DA!!

k, thx

i won´t buy SLK900A unless i fail to run my 2500+ @ 3200+ with decent temps. u think that falco II HS and Smart Fan II can handle it ??

The FR2 is on par with the SLK800 (original) when both use the same fans. It's a very good heatsink especially if you use a more powerful fan. With the stock fan the FR2 is only adequate for stock speed CPUs and maybe some very moderate overclocking but it is extremely quiet. With a powerful fan it becomes real performer.

I suggest you just install the FR2 trying an assortment of 80mm fans. I think the stock one is 28cfm. Test it then try your other fan. Judge from there.

Maybe you'll want something more powerful, maybe less powerful.

I hear the Smartfan II is a good choice. It's adjustable and has good speed ranges.

Yes i will go with the FR HS and the SF II fan, i just hope i dont have to run it at maximum 4800rpm !!!

Depends on how much overclocking you want to do but you won't need the fan at full speed to get a really good temps.

Full speed's not that loud, it's about what 45dBa? that's not bad.
