Volcano 7 and Barton

Is the Volcano 7 alright for using with an overclocked XP2500+ Barton? I'm
using the Thermaltake ducting mod too if that helps. TIA

Most likely - the Bartons run cooler than the older models that the 7
was made for. I have a 7 on an original 1.4 and it runs quite hot,
got a 9 on a Barton 2500 and it runs about 10-15°C cooler (and the
2500 is clocked from 1.8odd to 2.002 - I got cold feet about going
higher just air cooled

The ducting mod should make things better also. If you could suck air
in from outside the case thru that, it'll probably be cooler than mine

I was running with one (on a 2500+) until Monday, I stuck a cheap and
nasty hsf (q tec 80mm fan) on and it runs 8 degs cooler than the V7
could manage at mid speed (4500) and the new one only runs at 2700.
The Qtec is also MUCH quieter than the V7 ever was, and it was only a
fiver from the local computer fair.
The 2500+ now runs at idle 33 and under load at 41/42. That's at stock,
with the mb set to 3200+ it idles at 38 and under load 48 to 50. When I
tried the V7 with the cpu at 3200+ the under load temp got to 61 and was
still rising and then I turned it off (and than with the V7 going flat
out at 5000rpm).
I'm not saying I going to keep the Qtec, but it's far and away better
than the V7 ever was.

Take a look here - it's available from various outlets but it's kinda
pot luck as to who...

That's one good reason why the Vantec Aeroflow and other HSF's using TMD
fans cool better with less noise than these older, bigger HSF's.

mmm thank you for that it has given me some thought. As everyone else
possibly would like I want good cooling without the noise and not costing a
great deal of money to achieve it either

This is the one I've got...

and the whole range is here...

I'd be interested to see how the overclockers and overclockers enhanced
work considering how well the basic model runs.

I'd seen the basic one on lots of stands at computer fairs and always
assumed that they'd be rubbish (I mean, a fiver !!!! it can't be any
good, can it ?). I only got it as a backup in case the V7 failed.
