Cooler Master HCC001

Hey guys,

Ive got a friend whos building a simular system to mine.

He has a XP2000+ and hasnt got the money for a Alpha like mwah

hes thinking of getting this cooler, will it be ok on a XP2000+ ? and can anyone give any estimate CPU temps ?

thanks,

check the ratings first, then tell him to get some money and get an alpha cooler.

 

that wasnt very helpful... can you please answer my question ?

 

Or you could tell him to get a Taisol 760, probably the best value HSF around!:dude: It's got a great reputation and would be a good bet!

 

well, just looked at the taisol, its rated upto XP2000+ so it should be fine with him.

ill speak to him tomorrow.

has anyone got any estimate temps ?

thanks,

Temps are very hard to estimate, as there are extremely reliant on the rest of a system and its cooling! Suffice to say that with adequate case cooling and airflow it should be fine. Perhaps some people using the Taisol now could give you some of their temps (hint hint guys!)


Oh, and another thing, the Coolermaster is on Isaac's list of Dangerous Heatsinks so you might want to definitely talk him out of that one!

 

I'd buy a cheap CM Alu heatsink for the time being. Save up enuff money to get an Alpha. Coz once u have experience the awksome quality of this heatsink you'll never settle for anything less!

 

The coolermaster isn't much cheaper than the alpha anyway....

 

thats what I was thinking Isaac. I still rate the Taisol 760

 

As do I, but someone else beat me to it....:cries:

 

right, thanks alot guys... ill recommend the Taisol 760.

ive told him to get an Alpha but thats £47, he said hes going to get it when he has the money. but he needs a cooler now for his new system hes building next week.

thanks guys, ill show him this thread later on.

Just incase you werent aware http://www.coolcasemods.com/ sells the Alpha cheaper than anywhere else (assuming you are in the UK) since they bundle a YSTech coloured fan with it. It works out to be better value/performance than a CM HCC001

 

yea, i was aware of that.

he still hasnt got £40 + p&p for a cooler.

he was getting the coolermaster for £20.

£20 inc p&p is his limit.

Taisol best he can do ?

thanks,

Right, its out of 3 coolers.

1) GlobalWin SAK38.
2) Coolermaster DP5-6I31C.
3) Taisol 760.

All are rated upto XP2000+

place your votes now, 1, 2 or 3!

3. All the way.

 

3.

The SAK38, while a good heatsink, uses than damn delta fan.....The coolermaster is another faceless oem coolermaster heatsink, and the Taisol is the business.

 

1) could come with a black label delta - too loud for me
2) hmmmm
3) cheaper and better

 

Like I said before, get him to go with the Taisol 760! Best of the 3!
