Just replaced my original DragonOrb with a Volcano7+ and I'm speechless. It's dropped my temps by 8 degrees celcius and isn't too loud(when in medium-4500rpm-fan speed). This thing gets a 10 in my book.

A golden orb on the PIII800 and a cheapy, no-name, copper-plated with aluminum fins, generic-budge cheapy that I am still kicking myself for wasting money on on my 1Ghz Celery.

Should I dump what I got and go for this Volcano7 everyone keeps raving about? The wife just found out how overboard I went on the son's computer and didn't freak out or even get pissed...so I figure I might be able to push my luck a little more....

I have the Cooler master HC-001. It keeps my Athlon XP 2000+ at around 40 degrees so I presume thats good. Its really noisy though which is a bit of a setback

Are you using thermal grease or a pad? I use Arctic Silver 2 and temps hit a hi of 44C while folding. I highly recommend you try some if you haven't already, otherwise I would blame poor case ventilation.

coolermaster (no idea what model) aluminum hs, 4500rpm 60mm fan (quieter than any of my hard drives) and my temps (1.2ghz @ 1360) are 48c idle, 53c full use.

Been thinking about getting one of those, I'm tired of the afterburners of the delta. I don't mind the noise, just not all the time.

I don't know if it's a Delta fan but it really isn't that loud at all. As long as you don't put it on high, it's ok. You can even run it at low fan speeds with very very low noice levels-of course it won't cool as good. It has also gotten quieter over the last few days, maybe it broke-in or something

On my Thunderbird 1.4GHz @ 1.53GHz, I run a ThermalTake Volcano 7, modified to run at 7V instead of 12V. Soon to be replaced by a Swiftech watercooler.

On my brother's Duron 800MHz, I run an El Cheapo CoolerMaster Draco (it's crap -- won't cool an Athlon above 1GHz).

My poison of choice is Arctic Alumina. I find Arctic Silver (and knock-off products) to be unbearably hard to clean up. And, really, I'm of the belief that thermal compound is thermal compound is thermal compound.

Arkua 7228 with stock fan on 1800XP. It's loud but sounds pretty cool like my PC is some kind of high-end work station or something. Kind of high pitched humming sound. I still don't like the loudness.

Temp seems to be at 41-43 Celcius idle. I don't know how to check out the temp at full load.
Someone tell me.

Whats the CFM and dB ratings of that fan? I bet its very loud given that size.

Try investigating fans made by papst as they run very very quiet with good CFM ratings.

Coolermaster, all-copper. With good case cooling I am keeping my XP 1700+ at around 34C and the system temp usually around 31C. Here's where I purchased it; I bought it there because they had a good price on OEM CPUs at that time, and they increase their warranty for OEM CPUs to 1 year if you buy a cooler from them at the same time...
