    I bought one last week and on a std E6600 in a Antec TX1050 on a AsusP5WDH mobo I get the following temps:

    I think you'll agree that's a quality result.

    Was over at CeBIT last week and I can report that TONS of high quality
    Copper and Aluminium has been sacrificed on the alter of performance
    to bring a whole bunch of cool coolers to market in the next few weeks

    Not sure if Scythe, Thermalright and Zalman need new nappies just yet -
    but I think some of the existing brands are going to be be put under some
    serious pressure !
