i just got my heat sink in this weekend and ill tell you what...with a regular $14 heatsink i bought last weekend my temp was at 35°C at idle and when playing Doom 3 (or any other graphics intence game) it would jump to 55-95°C sometimes hit 100+

then i installed the Jet 4 and i couldnt belive how much a difference it was...i stay at room temp (25-32°C depending on time of day i lived in vegas and it can get hot in my room during the day) and when playing doom 3 or another graphics intence game it only goes up 5°C!!! i still havent ht 40°C yet and i tried by running winamp, my firewalls, anti virus, star wars battlefront, doom 3, fraps and paint shop pro...still stayed cool and all worked great...they say this heat sink will drop temp by at least 10°C - if not more like in my case


next on my list is getting a heat sink for my vid card (it can heat up more than the processor)


this heat sink looks cool with its red LED in the back and theres a white LED on the front that blinks...the thing is huge and heavy at 700 grams but its super quiet


ill get some picks when i got some time of the new system i built - though i need to wrap up the cables and most likely get a new case since this 1 has a dent and is too small for my tastes

good choice m8

1/2 speed so inaudible, overclocked AMD barton = 35°C
