Which one will provide better cooling to my Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHz 266MHz FSB? Keep in mind this is a regular volcano 7 not the 7+. I know the differences are the 7+ has that switch and is a copper heatsink and a smaller fan. Also about 3 times the price. Other then that the volcano 7 has a bigger fan and a regular aluminum heatsink with a copper insert. However I am aware that the 7+'s clip uses all 3 tabs on the socket. Does the regular 7 use this as well? Or only the center one. Please notify me as my dad might be buying one to further cool down my aunts PC hers is running a bit hot. And I'm thinking of going half and half with him so he can get my WBK38 and I get the volcano 7. Would this be an upgrade or a downgrade? In terms of temps and how much it will affect me. My temps are as follows
CPU Idle: 37.7C (100F)
CPU Full load: 43.8C (111F)
Case Idle: 27.7C (82F)
Case Full load: 33.3C (93F)
The sound doesn't really bother me as I have been deal with the delta as well as the 8 surrounding sunnon's for over a year now.
