"Wes Newell" wrote in message news Prices including shiipping. TR2-M1 $13 TR2-M2 $15 Aeroflow $23 Test system: Abit KT7-Raid, 1600+ Palomino overclocked and over voltaged to 1760MHz @ 1.85vcore. This is the hottest cpu I have. The M1 and M2 aren't really that close to each other in design, The M1 HS is wider and has an 80x25mm fan. The M2 and Aeroflow have the same YS Tech TMD fan 70x15mm 36cfm. Idle temps Cooler MB CPU Fan Diff.

Nothing was done to the others, except the fan burned out on the Aeroflow and I used the same TMD for both the Aeroflow and M2 test. Conclusion I was a little surpised, but the Aeroflow is a pretty clear winner here. However, I think replacing the slow very quiet fan on the M1 may have actually brought it close to the Aeroflow. I was a little disappointed in the performance of the M2. I had expected better from all the reviews I've read. Still, any one of these should provide a very suitable cooler for any of the XP cpu's. On a stock 2100+ Tbred B core running 1733MHz @ 1.60v vcore, they all kept idle temps in low 30's and in the low 40's under load. So take your pick.:-) If you rely to this, please remove cross posting. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html FWIW, I bought a TR2-M2 based on earlier discussions here, "just to see". I have been using Vantec Aeroflows on XP 2500+ running at 2200MHz in an Antec SOHO tower with one 80mm intake and two 80mm exhaust fans. My results closely follow yours, showing the Vantec to be a measurably superior unit. That said, I also agree that the TR2-M2 does an acceptable job, even in a mild overclock situation. |
