I was wondering has anyone got xp of

Thermaltake Volcano 11+

is it worth to buy r should I stick to my coolermaster aero lite7

[minibubba]

if your temps are good and you don't have any problems/complaints with your current hsf, why change?

Get the Aeroflow instead, for $5 less you get a much better heatsink.

The Volcano 7+ cools better than the Volcano 11+. Those LAN rooms must be very hot inside then.

I got a Vul 11 - Does pretty well, but makes a fair amount of noise.


I haven't recorded my temps, but I know that no mater what I'm doin, My CPU temps never above 40C.

It also helps that I have 5x80mm fans coolin the case
:D

Really? I was unaware of this. Got review link?

I've personally had the 11+ here to test on a few of my systems but it failed by 2-3C over the 7+ (it did win the most noise contest though) but have a look at the right hand column here.

You might want to look at the new Volcano 12 version. I've just finished up some testing and it does very well.

[Cataclysm]

Yeah, the 11+ is down by 3 degrees. Yet, still does a great job in comparison to alot of others :)

[Wiggo]

Yes that it does but I can do without all the noise so I'll stick with the 7+ for now until a better and cheaper option becomes available for both Athlons and P4's.

I'll keep my eye out for that review Darth but I hope it doesn't sound like a jet engine. ;)

I got 2 V7+ and they are good, but I like the V11. As far as the noise goes, I replaced the fan with quiet one that pushes about 27CFM and it cools better than v7+ on medium. So it has my vote.
Also since it takes 80mm fans, its a lot easier to get a replacement fan for it to make it quiet.
:2cents:

I had no idea that there was a volcano 12... I gues that's what i get for being too busy lately :tears:

anyway, it looks like it's going to be another screamer. I think I'll be sticking with my TT Silent Boost for a while :)
Here's the specs on the volcano 12:

How'd you go about replacing the fan?
Where'd u get the fan part for starters. Sounds like a good idea...

[kane2g]

its just a regular 80mm fan. lts pretty much a standard in case fans. You have plenty of different ones out there.

[The__tweaker]

Yeah 80x80x25 standard likely.
