hey guys... jus got this HSF big typhoon thermaltake. temps are low at load... 60c.... wondering wat u guys think of it

60C is pretty high actually. Not dangerous, but you don't have much headroom...The Typhoon is an older model, tho, and does perform rather well for it's age. It's like my GeminII, sittin' on the front porch yelling at the newer coolers like the TRUE Copper about how they had to go to school uphill both ways in the snow every morning to learn how to use their heatpipes...

Lol...that is the funniest thing I have read all day.....

yes maybe a little high... but i did hav to giv it a little extra voltage to be 100% stable

60C is still rather high. TRUE can get 50-55 load...also, we need your ambient.

The Big Typhoon's not that great of a cooler compared to the coolers available nowadays

It's still one of the better quiet coolers though

very high ambient temps... in SoCAl second floor.... room hits like 70-80 degress F

It's performing about as well as it can. BT is a good cooler, but it's not the best cooler. It's old and it knows it

It was also designed long before quads actually hit the desktop market, so it's actually quite amazing that it can keep the quad under wraps with an ambient high enough to drive an average human being completely nuts.
