I have not clicked the link yet; but I'm betting on the "Shogun" :)

edit: okay I was right, and I'm pretty sure the Scythe with silent 120mm fan gives better noise/performance ratio:)

no dBA/noise measurements makes for poor review in the end; because the temperature numbers alone no longer hold all the info because of the different fan sizes and types/speeds

An uncommon processor for the test to show to people with common processor. Overclocking processor without voltage increase does not generate as much additional heat as with.

Hopefully, by the end of 2006, the Hot Potato Prescott will be memory; together with giant heatsinks.

It was stated @30°C room and 35°C system; you'd better get an A/C instead :)

Not so, if you are using A64; or Intel Mobile.

they stole my article title ;)
