That's the newer Sparkle one. The other one is an old Gigabyte one. It does look like the Sparkle one has a cheaper cooling shroud and they didn't use all bolt-through holes for their cooling, though. But yes, it is nifty in white

Also go out where its really sunny and examine the pcb for damage.
( even little scratches can be enough to interrupt flow of electricity in pcb)

What do people think of my temps? ( Used a combo of running prime 95 on max heat output mode + using my rig as normal to achieve temps)
3ghz xeon 3220 ![]() Just a reminder I'm using this at the moment ![]() ![]() ![]() To give you an idea of size, the fan is 70mm.

NICE!!! i personally dont like the push pin design but you can always remove them and find a 775 X Plate and some screws to tighten it up better.

Oh that reminds me! I'm using the stock fan from a amd cooler instead, it actually performs the same because its 10mm thick rather then 25 so the dead spot is eliminated! heh
Much quieter also, the fan that was in it was so loud.
