Thermaltake’s Big Typhoon VX is an aggressive CPU cooler that performs extremely well and now comes with a more powerful, variable speed fan. Unfortunately, the new tool-less mounting system left me unimpressed.

Price - $54.99 USD

I wonder if it really sounds like a typhoon. Then, I don't want it. I'm moving into silnet PCs. Can you believe my CPU's fan works at less than 1000RPM?!!!

I think so. The noise doesn't increase when the CPU becomes heavily loaded.

Anusha · Dec 13, 2006

I'm running a test to find out it now. Await results shortly...

Anusha · Dec 13, 2006

CPU at idle:

CPU at full load (100% on both cores using Prime95)

Anusha · Dec 13, 2006

So it reaches 2000RPM afterall. I didn't hear any difference in noise. Maybe the cumulative noise from all the other fans (chasis fan, two fans in the power supply and the GPU fan) could be higher than that of the CPU fan even at 2000RPM. :rolleyes:

I am? No way. I have given up fanboysm... (i don't think such a word exists in English, but you get the point no?) I like what's good and I don't like what's bad. Intel is better than AMD right now, so I'm with Intel. When/if AMD regains the honour of being the king performer, then I'll switch to AMD. It's not like politics.
