    Red face PAL 8045 vs. Volcano 7+

    I'm looking very closely at these two HSF's for my XP. These 2 seem ideal as the are both fairly quiet.

    I'm put off by the PAL's high price tag, but i'm also put off by the fact that V7+ will need to be run at the fast fan setting to cool effectivly.

    So which one should i buy ppl

    From what I hear, the PAL 8045, AX7, SLK800, and MCX462 all own

    Thermaltake I hear sucks terriblly.

    The Volcano 7+ happens to be Thermaltake's only good performer. Not quite up to PAL8045 performance, but it's a good heatsink in it's own right (it's pretty close to the PAL's performance).

    I'd say to get those heatsinks from KJY9.
