Default Post My t-bird is dead!!!

My cpu fan just died yesterday and took my t-bird along with it!! . I should have never installed the thermaltake cu + 7000 rpm fan as I think it draws too much current and fried. My old fan (5000rpm) is only around .25 A while the 7000rpm is .34 A. Thermaltake sucks! Anyway I am thinking of buying an athlon xp 1500+ at newegg for 77 dollars. You guys think that is a good deal?

YES THERMALTAKE SUCKS! There known to be AMD Cpu killers. You just became another victim of Thermaltake.

Go here for better deals for AthlonXP... http://www.pricewatch.com/1/3/4075-1.htm

Globalwin is a good heatsink for AMD cpus, give one of those a shot.

ThermalTake sucks simply because you were using a power supply that couldnt keep up the current?

Anyone else confused by this logic?
