I'm thinking of upgrading from a 1.8A (50 watts of heat) to a 2.8C (70 watts of heat).
I currently use a SLK-900 with a 92mm Panaflo L running at 12 volts. This is cool and quiet enough for me with my 1.8. I can hear it, but I don't mind it, I idle at about 36C and load at about 42-44C.
Case is a fully stock Antec Sonata with few cables or PCI cards inhibiting airflow. Video card is a lowly Ti4200.
Has anyone else had any luck with the 2.8C under similar conditions? I don't think there are better heatsinks than the SLK-900, are there? The 20 extra watts of heat seems significant. I'd rather not add any more noise than I have now. I would describe my setup as having a very, very subdued "Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" and I'd like to keep it that way. Thanks!
Anyone have good results with P4 2.8C?
