[Nemesis1234]

Greeting to thee all,
I want to overclock my P4 2.0 A to the MAX, I read too much +ve sides about the ThermalTake Volcano 7+ and the SwifTech MCX4000 .
To tell u the truth I want the best cooling device and also the least noisy of them.
Could U please help me to choose, which one do you prefare....ohh one more thing I'll be getting Arctic Silver 3 to use.

ThX to thee all

Well, the Swiftech HS is much better than the Volcano one but Volcano has the option to change the fan speed. If the money isnt a problem I wo uld go for the Swift and a silent fan.

Hmm how much is the swiftech HS better..... I mean is it like a couple of Dgrees ?
And do u think a volcano 7+ with arctic better or worse than the swiftech alone, Because I'm only limetted to 60$ at max. !

The swiftech (combined with a good fan) is the best cooling heatsink out there, but it's also the most expensive. A warning that it is larger than standard size and may not fit on your motherboard. I had to take a chunk out of mine with a dremel because there was a capacitor in the way. I have an Asus P4S533 motherboard.

Hmmm I have an ABIT BD7II-RAID....and i"ve just ordered Swiftech............Do u think it will fit.
I read a review about the swiftch right now and the mobo they used was ABIT BD7 !

Is it gonna fit ?!?!?!?!

If the reviewer had no problem installing it, then neither should you.
