![]() | Big bucks for big units! We pull out the stops and put 10 big bad cooling systems and heatsinks to the test. What coolers deliver you the best temperature drop for your hard earned dollar? We spell it out for you on a unit by unit basis. http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA==

![]() | that's no excuse, seriously. back in 2003 we did it without dba meter but still give the reader an idea http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=get...&articID=10 2 without any idea of noise production the pure temp results are worthless, you know as well as me that the cooling performance depends on airflow ![]()
