Either that or they persuade buyers to get the noisy GlobalWin WBK38 / ThermalTake DragonOrb fans which are the standard for overclockers. I've also noticed that even some worse vendors don't bother adding thermal paste on AMD's core, which helps a bit. Also, some clunky fans seem to be a danger in that they're a tad too heavy, which may cause the clips to give way over time. > the lesson therefore is to mind the type and quality of fan installed > when > you get *any* processor. and the best fans dont cost too much on the > budget. And hopefully the best fans aren't always noisy -- or too power-hungry. -------------------------------------- Gino LV.
