As per his other compy with the same cooler

I have set the Thermal Control Module to control aroud the set point of 22'C which is monitored by the MOBO Winbond sensor. I have provided a 10 minute load test result using Prime95:
Case Temp - 32'C
No load (idle) - 22'C
Max. Load Temp - 32'C

During test, case temp had also rose 3'C due to excess heat generation.

But that was a P4, which runs quite a bit hotter than the C2D depending on the OC

I voted 6/10 because:

no real mods, just parts

What is funny is that I have often thought we have the same taste. Unfortunately not always the same funds to spend. LOL.

Will the fan bracket still fit and close with the Freezone installed? Nice and clean, the way I like it. 8/10

Yeah, I had that prob with my X1800 w/ the X2. The trick is to not use the filtered mount. Screw the fan into the bracket instead.
