Thermaltake VOLCANO 10+ 60mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan/Heatsink

The temperature inside a CPU can feel hotter than the earth's core and to keep it from erupting, it takes a good CPU cooler. Thermaltake's Volcano 10+ slim copper CPU cooler comes recommended by AMD for use on their Athlon XP 3400+ chips and up.

Like its namesake, the Volcano draws heat upward – but using its large, pure copper base rather than molten rock. An array of copper convection fins diffuse the excess heat in the 21CFM airflow generated by the 60mm ball bearing fan. At its maximum 4800 RPM speed, the fan generates a noise level of 36.5 dBA.

The fan's speed – and noise level – can be adjusted for an optimal balance between cooling and noise either by the included temperature sensor or manually using a PCI slot plate mounted control knob. The Volcano installs quickly and without tools with its 3-point clip attachment that locks it securely onto the board.
