I'm going to take another look at coolers later. The new one I bought is fairly ordinary, probably not too much of an upgrade over the AMD branded one that came with the CPU. It's copper, though. Any thoughts on the adapter that lets you use an 80 mm fan on the CPU cooler? Nick _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
