Thermaltalke SK-6 Vs Millenium Glaciator Vs. Dragon orb 7k. test results .

[TimisoaraKill]

Hi i just finished yesterday my first AMD computer and i want to share with you somme results between those 3 HSF combos.
The finished computer and is this one :
---------------------------------
I will KK266 Raid .
1.4 @ 1.55 Thunderbird (155 FSB) AIHJA-R Default Voltage .
256 Mushkin Pc 150@ 2-2-2
Gainward 64 MB Geforce II pro 450
Original I will 4 chanell Eax/A3d sound system.
IBM 40 GB 60 GXP @ 7200 Ata 100
ATX Case 300W Antec suply and side 2x 92 T&T 41 CFM mm intake (one blow CPU other Blow Cipset) and 1 T&T 120 MM 75 CFM in the top for exhaust + The 30 CFM Suply exhaust.
----------------------------------
I used in test Arctic Silver II paste (original HSF pads remooved)
We bought those 3 HSF and hawe 48 hours to retourn 2 and keep one so i had more than enough time to test (we say that we gonna keep the one who wil fit his motherboard ) .
I ussed for each fan 5 times Win 98 full load + Seti@ HOME in the test .Temps are taken with both MBM monitor and MB probe ( this one fixed on the Bios Temps) .
------------------------------------------
Dragon Orb - Win98 Full Load -50/Celsius
Thermaltalke SK-6 - Win98 Full Load - 47/Celsius.
Millenium Glaciator- Win98 Full Load - 48/Celsius
------------------------------
Seti@HOME full stress :
Dragon Orb : 51-52/Celsius .
SK6 : 47-48/Celsius.
Millenium Glaciator : 48 Celsius .
------------------------------
The Noise level was the factor who make us to keep the Millenium Glaciator because is way more low than the SK6 wich i must say that is extremely noisy and i mean realy like a jet engine or something .
You can hear the Sk6 - 7K delta over the Case fans very clear and loud .
The level of noise of the Dragon Orb also is not bad but so far is more noisy than the Glaciator also .
The more easy install i find the Dragon Orb , the second the Millenium Glaciator and after the SK6 wich was not a pain but so far was the most hard to install.
So we gonna stay with the Millenium Glaciator because was only 1 or half degree more hot than SK6 but @ very resonable noise.

Nice testing. Smart idea, to buy 3 and return the 2 you dont' want. Did you buy those HSF's online? Or did you buy them at a local store, because they only thing i can get at any local store around here is probabaly the Dorb. Nice rig you got there, keep up the testing

condolences and prayers for all Americans.

My brother hawe a friend in Otawa who is computer resseler and he make us up with all the rig up herre and HSF combos also , this is my brother system and i just build and test for him .
Me personaly i will go intel in my next Rig because i just like the intel temp's and so far in this AMD rig we hawe herre a USB problem with this Via motherboard ,...i will try a patch later and may be another Bios flash but i just dont' like stuff like this for this i will go Intel .
What i can say other is this AMD system so far is very stable and i think that hawe the same stability like an Intel system but is just that in my oppinion Intel is better in therms of compatibiliti and more bugs free.

if you run Win98 get the USB patch
