|  what heatsink soon I'll put my Linux machine back together. I'm wondering what heatsink I should use. I've used my SLK800 before, with a silent 7V fan the CPU got pretty hot: stock speed +40 idle, stressed: dunno. stressed, a temp probe between some fins of the SLK reported 44° I'm using a Koolance case. the PSU is 300W and has a silent fan at 5v (pretty close to unhearable). I've got two heatsinks available: my stock 2500+ heatsink with copper base and a V7+ heatsink. both will be used with 60-80mm fan adapter. I'll put a few casefans in the machine, but they'll only push very little airflow. same goes for the CPU fan, it used to be 7V but now I want to give it only 5Volt so, what HS performs best with little airflow? I think the 2500+ heatsink, because copper heatsinks need a LOT of airflow to work properly... copper doesn't give away like aluminium does |

| actually it is :/ I don't want to test the heatsinks, compare them and take everything apart every time |

| I shouldn't doubt about it. The stock amd heatsink has a copper base and alu fins so it should perform better with a less performant fan. |

| The stock HS will prolly work better, because there is more distance between the fins so there's no need for high CFM to get the air at the base. |

| copper takes absorbes the heat much better but alu can give away the heat better so take te alu one, and same reason like HardFreak |

I think the copper will perform better because it has more fins. And I think it will even perform better with the fan-adapter. Just my 2 cents. | |
