Now as most of you know this site is dedicated to the PC Enthusiasts who are overclockers, tweakers, and just flat out PC Abusers. Now for the average person their chipset coolers on their northbridges or their video cards might just be enough for them because they aren't into tweaking like we are. But for those of us who can't tweak enough, the chipset cooler in the majority of cases needs to come off! Most retail chipset coolers don't put out very much air flow or there is no fan at all. When your wanting to overclock that video card or run your FSB up in the 200Mhz area most of the time, the chipset coolers will hold you back. What you need is a better chipset cooler, of course.
Dynatron has sent us their SPC1 Chipset Cooler. It looks similar to Thermaltake's Blue Orb. The heatsinks dimensions are 54.6x12.7mm and the fan outputs 12 CFM @ 5000 rpm's with a decible level of 28dBa.. Now this might not seem like a lot. But given the size of the cooler it doesn't need much. Most stock chipset coolers only put out 4 to 6cfm if they are that lucky so to jump to 12 is a pretty good jump in my book.
Today I'll be installing this onto my Radeon 8500. I have never been impressed with ATI's choice of cooling on this card. Anything over the 290Mhz mark on the GPU of this card has never been seen without artifacts or without just flat out locking up. So hopefully that will change soon!
