Just put one one a socket 478 Prescott 3.2Ghz. While everrything is on a test bed at the moment. I can say with just the one fan on. (another can be attached to the back). It's idle temps are 38c. I'll probably get around to doing the full machine later and will post the results with 2 fans.

Well I put the Fan off a Akasa 825 h/s fan on aswell (attaches on back). This is one MASSIVE cooler but I have to say it performs brilliantly.
With both fans at 2500rpm it colled the precott 3.2Ghz O/C to 3.84Ghz to 43c under load. Unfortunately I only had Kingston Value ram on hand and couldn't go for higher O/C but it is very good.

You should radically overvolt the fan and see if you can get your motherboard to take off

Edit: Or atleast scoot along the desk a little bit. That would quite possibly be the coolest thing I have ever seen. Thenagain, Im easily amused.

When I fitted I thought, in years to come I'm going to look back on this and laugh at strapping a jet on top a cpu. Honestly when your see it up close it is HUGE.

Then again I've attached a fridge to mine....mmmm

alright folks,

is it just me, or is that hs the exact same thing as a coolermaster hyper 6 or tt112 tower

the only difference is that they put plastic on it to look like a jet engine - the dual fans are set up exactly like the 2 towers mentioned above - and the heatsink fins seem quite identical...

either which way, they made a huge cooler, even huger, by putting on that ugly plastic - i say stick with the hyper6 or tt112 -

same cooling but, no gross plastic!

They do appear to be similar but the performance increase by having the cooler encased is marked. All three cooler are damned ugly. Go for the performance.
