well if TRUE can drop a good 30 degrees load from stock cooler at 50% I'd go TRUE XD. If I leave the stock fans at 50% itll idle over 65 celcius. Load hit 71 and I shut the PC off before it went higher heh.
Quite frankly having the fans at 100% just so the CPU can idle at 45 stock isnt quite pleasant. Its wintertime here and the ambient temp of my room is only 16 - 17 celcius (I hate hot weather).
I won't reqret it at all. but dishing out 600 or 700$ on anything sucks, let alone savign for a month to afford it >.> lol. I was actually thinking it was gonna be cheaper untill I added it up for the cost for this post :S thats prolly why I sounded a bit bummed ;p
i'll eventually be going yorkfield because I'm quite disappointed with the temps on this. And I know that will run cool on air. I also knew my b3 would run hotter than average but I didn't figure much hotter. meh too late now. I can ebay it and my motherboard, take a slap in the face and grab a 780i and york when they come out. I'm sure someone wouldnt mind getting a q6600 and p5kd for 350-400$
I'm half doign WC because it'll cool, half because it looks sweet and another half (lol) because it'll be fun to put together. The though of saving the cash so I can get everything else I need (monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard :S) sooner but unlike you vee I'm horrible at budgeting lol. If I don't spend it on PC parts I'll just spend it on booze ^^ I guess this is my rehab.
