Following up form their success with the SLK-800, the latest CPU c00ler offering from Thermalright - the SLK-900 (http://www.thermalright.com/slk900.html), is available for both AMD Athlon + Intel P4 CPU's :thumbsup:

Like its predecessor, it's bl00dy big...

Socket A http://www.thermalright.com/images/slk900b.jpg

Intel P4 http://www.thermalright.com/images/slk900a.jpg

The c00lers are suitable for AMD Athlon XP Palamino, Thoroughbred, and Barton 2800+ and up, and Intel Pentium-4 socket-478 3.06 GHz and above respectively.

You can find the full spec/features list in the link above, but the ones which caught my eye in particular were:

Speed: 4800 rpm (good)
Air Flow: 110.18 CFM!!!! (good)
Noise Level: 55dBA!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:eek: ) - but typical for a Delta I s'pose :rolleyes:

Hah... a brand new c00oler which is gonna need modded before it's fitted - either that or start wearing headphones wi' the sound turned well up :D

Aye, but I bet it's still quieter and cooler than a GF FX ;)

Well, if it's like the SLK-800, nothing says you have to leave the screamer on there...just replace it with something less deafening...like the turbines of a 747 ! ;)
