Aero 7+ (80mm) vs. Aero 7 Lite
Hey all,
Does anyone know of any reviews which compare the larger 80 mm (80 x 80 x 70 mm fan, 80 x 80 x 51 mm heat sink) Aero 7+ with the Aero 7 Lite? I know that CoolTechZone and DataFuse compared them but I asked the DataFuse person and he said he thought it was indeed the smaller one. The CoolTechZone person wasn't sure but I suspect it is the smaller one. Bjorn3D did use the larger one I think but his was flawed (not polished) so his results too are a bit uncertain. It does appear that the are some size differences in the two heat sinks. The Lite is supposed to be 60 x 80 x 45 mm although it is apparently longer and narrower then the 7+. Looking at the Bjorn3D page, it appears the top part of the 7+ is 80x80 but the bottom part is not. For this reason, and perhaps most importantly the difference in fin thickness and distance, I'm included to believe the Lite might be better, even if the comparisons we do have are unreliable. Not so sure about the theory on Bjorn of airflow but I suspect that the copper fins might be too thin to properly conduct heat. Of course, this is another theory but is based on something I read elsewhere. Also, the Lite is a bit cheaper still even if not so much anymore and I don't like extremely heavy heat sinks. But I would still like to seem some reliable reviews as they will be useful, especially in confusing people elsewhere. P.S. I don't care how much better the Vantec Aeroflow is, it's too expensive. Same goes for the SLK-900. And no, the fact that you can get them for XX from somewhere listed on pricewatch is of no use to me. |
