Thus spake J.C.Roberts ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [05/06/06 08:35]: : You're right that well designed cooling systems can make things run : cooler and with less noise but more importantly, there's only one way to : determine if various cooling systems are actually well designed; namely, : you have to go buy a stack of them and then test all of them in your : particular application... -and how do you find out if they are reliable?
Funny. I did a bunch of research for other's opinions on the Web, and the first set of heatsink/fans I purchased turned out to be quiet, cool, and reliable -- three years later, I'm still using the original fan I purchased. All subsequent purchases from the same company (Zalman) have proven to be pretty much exactly the same: quiet, cool, and reliable. (This is my last contribution to this thread. It's pretty off-topic, and the original poster already has a few good leads on good cooling solutions.) - Damian
