Heh, yeah, but they often go way the hell overboard with 6" fans stuck all in
and on the case and liquid nitrogen running through the system or whatever :)
I'm just looking for a good fan/heatsink combo I can trust to quietly keep the
CPU at optimal temps. No overclocking, $45 fan clusters, etc... Just good,
simple, "This off-the-shelf fan was just plain the best performer" :)
I'll check out those sites, though. Thanks for the URL's...
