| something must be wrong, I can't see how the regular Freezer gets better performance than the pro I'll see what I can get done with mine on the x2 4400+ |

| I have some stock x2 4400+ results now. (2x2.2 GHzs 1 MB cache, 1.33V according to motherboard) with 1400RPM, it stays nicely at 44° after rising from the idle temp of about 30°. However, Im using a motherboard which has the CPU nicely in the middle with a lot of air around and the airflow of the 120mm exhaust and the 120mm PSU fan helping as well. |

| n/o Rutar, but those performance numbers mean practically nothing (all we learn is that your PC is not overheating)

| Well, it means it works even with a slower moving fan =P, now I got to find a way to silence the x1800XT I'm aware it's impossible to do a comparison to the review results. |

| Size of graphic card plays a role in case ventilation. The bigger it gets the more it negatively impact case air flow. As for as BTX form factor is concern in having a fix CPU location; Intel boards (ATX) have always been in a fix position ..... making it irrelevant in the explaination.

but I get your comment on the BTX note, since AMD won't adopt to it any time soon. but having one company provide case&cpu cooling will (hopefully) garantuee optimised airflow @Rutar, at 2.2 with 1.33v you can run that fan at 5v for sure
