    Anybody have the Vantec FCE-62540D been doing some research and I heard it performs well but is a little loud. If anybody knows the bad or the good let me know?

    it has a very very good clip. tool less and it doesnt hurt your fingers either. not as strong as a cooler than some of the newer heatsinks, but it is still a good performer.

    The things I've read about it also say it performs well, but I've never tried it. If you do try it out, let us know how it does!

    Thats the cooler I have on my Duron 750 , MSI K7T turbo. I would have to agree the clip is good. Using radio shack thermal paste, I never get above 38c running benchmarks. Of course my core is only set to run at 1.5 If I bump the vcore up, temps climb quickly. I would have to rate it as ok for a stock machine but inadequate for a overclocker. I lapped it, I ducted it I put a 1 watt 15k ceramic resistor inline to knock rpm down to 5500 . Its nice and quiet, but not a top notch performer.
