    AKASA EVO 120 HSF & Sonata 3

    Hi All

    I've just built my first ever system and Im feeling quite pleased with myself but its running too hot.

    Does anyone know if this hsf will fit in a sonata 3, and if it's worth the money (around £39).

    I've read some good reviews but Im not sure which way to go.

    Thanks
    WB

    I don't think any akasa HSF's are worth £39.

    Take a look at

    Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
    very quiet

    or
    Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

    + a decent 120mm fan

    Scythe S-FLEX probably.

    Both will give near silent results and fantastic cooling.

    I wouldn't pay £39 for an Akasa heatsink either

    Much better Scythe and Thermalright alternatives around.
