is it worth me spending £13 on a vantec aeroflow 2 replace my aero 7 ? i do alotof overclocking but imnot spending 35 quid on an sp 97 cos im poor lol
I wouldn't say so, the performance of the Aeroflow is probably slightly better than the Aero 7 lite but not enough to warrant a change. My rule of thumb is that if you have something that does the job adequately, don't upgrade unless you're gonna be gaining a major performance improvement. Saving up and buying something good later is far better than buying something slightly less mediocre now.
i own the vantec aeroflow 1 (for amd of coure) . I kind of regret buying it. i know they brag that the tmd is better, but with that heavy magnetic ring spinning, it vibrates a lot more. also, i've heard a lot of people saying the tmd fan is poorly built and does not measure rpm's accurately. I saw this happening with mine too. it would jump from 0 to 50000 then down again. i hope they did a better job w/ v2
Yes, if you have ear defenders or are playing loud music constantly The Tornado really is that loud, so many people compare it to a hairdryer at 12v, and that's very accurate. At 7v it's still very loud, only 5v is what I consider acceptable, though the cooling performance at that speed isn't that poor, and lets me pump up the CFM for benchmarking I've got one too, you're right about the RPM thing, it's all over the place. Haven't had too many vibration problems, and the cooling is pretty good (running tbred 2400+ at 2.4GHz atm). Oh, and was he asking about the aeroflow 2 or was that a shortening of "to"? Damn txtspeak
i was talking about this one so by the looks of the 2 on the side yer 2 or is taht just a swoosh sort of thing lol
