[QUOTE="davej00, post: 92761, member: 19156"] I don't want to start a flame war -- but IMHO the AMDs tend to be cooler than their equivalent P4. ;) I use the Zalman CNPS 7000B-Cu copper fan and I run it at about 1350 RPM. The mobo has no other fans -- so the downdraft from the CPU fan also cools the bridges. When looking at cooling, you need to consider what else is in the box, I have one 80 mm fan and two fans on the PSU -- although they only run intermittently -- and my box typically stays well below 40C As well as this forum :) -- I found the info over at [url]http://www.silentpcreview.com[/url] very useful. Enjoy ! - Dave [/QUOTE]
