Looks good! Hear a lot of good things on that one, but you should ask Neo, he's on fire with builing these days!

I am using a Volcano 7+ and it works great. 9 is the same thing from what I know, except a more quiet fan (The none quiet fan sounds like a vacuum).
That is a cool cooler though. I would get it.

ME BIGGD01 had a link to a good page comparing 15 heatsinks, but I couldn't find it. That fan puts off 48 decibels, it said, which isn't 'silent', but the 75 cubes of air is pretty darn strong. It looks great, too.

48dB is not too bad. I like the 80mm fans a lot better than those 60mm Delta ones. Damn Delta's were almost 70db. Sounded like a damn jet engin in my case.

Shogun posted some reviews somewhere around here :D

This is the top performer. 60,70 and 80mm fans. There is a 900 out now that looks like a beast :D

Dude, your rig is SMOKIN'! BTW, I bought that volcano. I have an older one now, and I like it, so I went with what I know. I'm not going to brag about my machine anymore either. I think Fragetti just put most of us in our place! Ha!

Thanks for all the input guys. :thumbs:

It all depends on what you have planned for your rig. Right now, I have 3 case fans, one in the front, one in the back, and one in the top. I am getting the Volcano 9, because it looks cool, and it will come in handy when I go to oc my system. Your Radeon has a fan on it, but you want to move the hot air OUT of your case. You want to create air flow, whether you are drawing air in, or at least sucking it out.

Thanks Sauron. BTW, if you have a CompUSA around, they have started to carry Antec 80mm LED fans and lasercut grills by PCToys.
That is where I got This (http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=7086)
