Just ordered two of these for my main rig.

Have any of you guy's used these before? Most of the reviews I've see show them as good performers.

hey i have one of those!

:)

but it's laying idle at the moment...

it was able to help me run my mobile barton 2600+ at 2.6 ghz on air... :)

good performer for such a small cost

Thats good news, they should work great on my PIII's then! :thumb:

Picked them up for a little over $9 - fans at Performance PC (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php)

Well so far not so good, I'm short one heatsink. I guess it never made it in the box. :(

Sent an email back saying it didn't make it, so we'll see. :suspect:

Ok, everything is back on track. After contacting the good folks at Performance PC’s, the missing heatsink has been shipped and received. :thumb:

Kudos to Hank in sales for his fast replies and prompt action. :beer:

Anyway, got the heatsinks installed and my initial impression is good. My load temps only went down about 1c but the noise level has been considerably reduced.

Hehe….I can actually hear my hard drives now, and I don't have to go in the other room to talk on the phone any more! :lol: :lol:

[shimmishim]

nice! :)

yeah they're pretty good little buggers especially for their price!

what fans you using?

[RotorHead]

Picked up two 80mm Panaflo H1A's :yup:

I thought they would be loud, but even on full 12v they are way quieter then the two Y.S. Tech 60mm/40 CFM fans I had on the SK6+ :yikes:

[shimmishim]

nice!

panaflo's are always nice...

what board is that btw?

[RotorHead]

It's a MSI Pro266TD Master (MS9105)

It's kind of a unique board, I've been using it for about 3 1/2 years now, rock solid board. :thumb:
