HSF with xp2100

[Ion]

How much cooler is Volcano 7+ compare to retail HSF on xp2100 at default speed?

And if i am going to overclock the xp2100, is the retail HSF anygood?
Note: Room has air cond plus nice air flow in case

The retail HSF is OK as long as you don't overclock, so I recommend you but a better HSF before you do any overclocking. What is your CPU temperature? I have an Alpha PAL 8045 and an XP2100, and my CPU temp is in the low 40's C at idle and in the high 40's C under load. Room temperature varies from 20 - 30 C.

I think with the Tbred B XP2100, he can easily have temps of 35ºC on load. With a Volcano 7+, he can overclock it very far, to 2.3GHZ quite easily, and still have low temps of mid 40s under load.

oh one thing, How Loud is Volcano 7+'s noise lvl at highest fan rotation speed compare to Geforce FX?
(cant stand FX roaring sound )

A bit quieter... but still damn loud.

IMHO the volcano7+ isnt great on high... better options available.

Yes, I have a Palomino, which runs hotter than the TBred.

I'm going to have to ask Tom to do an article about how shitty Thermaltake HSFs are! They all suck, try for a Vantec for close to the same price.

eBay, kick ass!

If you are getting a good HSF, get a Swiftech model 462 or a Thermalright SLK800A(U if your mobo will fit it.)
