Thermaltake Big Typhoon

Ishtim · 14th Oct 2005, 09:27 PM

I am SO tired of listening to my old Tt Volcano 7+ I decided to get something else.

Problem is ... it's just a little big.

I mean just a little BIG...

This weekend I am gonna swap HSFs and maybe do a little modding to my case. (pics to follow)

Anyone else use this one yet?

personally, XP120 gives you the best balance between noise (quiet) and performance (top-class).

I never trusted TT's figure. they are always off..

but most importantly, what processor are you running now?

Still have 2500+ @ 2.16 stock volts, but I wanna push more, just dun have the $$$ for H20 cooling.

I love my XP-120...

Unfortunately, it ain't compatible with K7...

It'll prolly crush the core even if it could...
