Quote:A good CPU cooler can go a long way in making a stable PC. The casual PC user or builder usually will be happy with a retail cooler that comes with their processor. But most enthusiasts turn to companies like Thermaltake for their CPU cooler needs. Thermaltake has been providing the enthusiast market with heat sinks for about four years. Thermaltake's Volcano line of CPU coolers is perhaps their most well-known line of AMD CPU coolers. Their latest addition to the Volcano series is the Extreme Volcano 12. This HSF features support for AMD Athlon XP up to 3400+, an all copper heat sink, and a variety of operation modes. In this review, I will be comparing the Extreme Volcano 12's performance to a stock HSF that AMD ships with Athlon XPs. Considering that it is all copper and much larger than the stock HSF, I expect the Extreme Volcano 12 to outperform the stock HSF by near two digit margins.
