Hi,
I was just wondering if the Swiftech MCX 4000+T Heatsink is better then a SLK-900 heatsink. This heatsink will be going on a 2.8c with 250fsb. Thanks in advance for any and all info.

2.8C @ 3.5 w/ slk-800u and smart fan 2, Abit IC7-G, 2 x 256mb Geil Platinum pc4000, Radeon 9700 Pro 375/335, 2 x WD Raptor in Raid 0

Thermoelectronic doesn't really help much, maybe 5C, but definently not worth the extra money. You already got SLK800U why do you want to upgrade? the difference between SLK900 and SLK800 is minimal.

Hi,
This is for a different system. Building it for a friend. Then I'm going to sell it to him for a nice profit. Thanks for the info.

SP-94 with Panaflo FBA09A12H, relatively quiet while pack a whopping cooling power...Or you can always go Delta or Tornado and spent more time awake

You can use voltage controllers to turn them down fairly quiet.

I used the Thermaltake ones, they're really cheap, but i had to modify the tornado connector to a 3pin connector.
