btw...
you must be the resident p4 heatsink expert by now

G

still a long way to go

i prefer to install pc gear and leave it alone for months or years... but i definitely like to see lower cpu temps like when i had the igloo 4300 ~36 - 39C under seti load

alphas fan direction works up and away from the heatsink versus down on the heatsink...

i haven't tried my alphas yet... waiting on my 2 x 80GB WD 8MB cache drives to arrive (2nd hand from GOD) so i can get in and out of my cases all in one go

I have swiftech mcx462 and though i have only tried sunons fans on it which i consider as low noise(39dba)

they were not the ones that i could rely on when it comes to xtreme oc
