Amazing cooler from Thermaltake

**jancz3rt** · 07-02-2005, 12:05 PM

Hey everyone,
I have stumbled across a great cooling solution that I am determined to get. I have been thinking of getting a cooler that would cool down my overclocked A64 3000+ (2.6Ghz). This seems like a perfect candidate and cools it down amazingly well. Its the Thermaltake Sonic Tower. Check it out here:

that is massive, ive just seen a pic of it on a motherbaord. i dont think that would be safe in a tower case.

It weighs almost 700 Grams. The maximum safe recommended is 450 Grams. I would use something to hold it so that it would not damage the mobo (somethink that would not pull on the mobo - a wire attached to the top of the case). I am seriously considering it though. It would look awsome.

wow 50 bucks for a heatsink?

OMG! that looks like one amazing cooler.... i would seriously consider using something to gently support the weight of the cooler thought. i'd probably hook some cable ties around it and secure them to the top of the case

it can cool up to a 5000+ (According to the specs

That's a quiet cooler as far as I know. However, based on reviews, it is not the best for overlocked systems. However, being an owner of two Arctic fans , they are very good and QUIET.

As said, it's not the best for overclocking, but it certainlly keeps my processor at a decent temp and I can't hear the fan over my system. Heck, its max speed is only 1600RPMs
