looks good to me.

only thing i have is that it needs to be cleaned properly and a new TIM put on everytime you take the heatsink.

if you messing around alot, trying to connect bridges for changing fans etc you coudl get through alot of tims and time, with artic silver you just either use whjats already on the heatsink or add a bit.

also, i seem to remember another manufacturer came out with a similar thing, only the phase change occoured around 60, but when it did, you could take the heatsink off and see every single mark your CPU had on it.

toodles :xsofa:

Couple things I noticed. first why would you do a temp test running a 120mm fan. How many people run 120mm fans on thier cpu,s. Second he said he was running full load with toast and getting 41c, yet his readout showed 0 cpu usage. My opinion if your going to do a review use the norm as far as equip, and make sure your info is correct. I will stick with ASIII. My .02c:)
