How many yrs warranty do your drives come? You can find it from Seagate website using the SN of your drive. My 410AS comes with 5year warranty. I am afraid that Seagate changed warranty to 3yrs for 418AS.

vote for Q9400

The black drive is on sale for $70 shipped now! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319&CMP=AFC-C8Junction

nice board, good price!

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1365774 For single disk, I got 86Mb/s for AAKS and 96Mb/s for AALS, and 106Mb/s for seagate 7200.12. The difference is about 11.6%

Considering the transfer rate, the black drive(WD6401AALS) is about 12% faster than WD6400AAKS. And the Seagate 7200.12 drives are 12% faster than WD6401AALS. Good price though.

In realtemp, the Tjmax is 95C, while in CoreTemp, Tjmax is 100C. That is why RealTemp always shows 5C lower than CoreTemp does. Not sure which is the right Tjmax, but to me, 100C is more reasonable.

vote for xigmatek S1283, awesome cooler!

The transfer rate of 80Mb/s is kinda slow to me, since the transfer rate of Seagate 7200.12 drive is over 100mb/s. This drive might be ok if used for a HTPC, definitely not good for a gaming rig.

Man, it's huge. I wonder how much better compared with xigmatek S1283 and Sunbeam core-contact which are only $30 coolers.

I bought this one and paired it with Xigmatek S1283, works perfectly.

if it is true, the core temperatures of my Q6600 will be about 20C, lower than my room temperature. Impossible!

The temp of liquid helium is only a few Ks, very close to absolute zero. Most people use liquid nitrogen instead of liquid helium for cooling.

FYI， My Q6600 running at 3Ghz, full load temps for four cores are no higher than 49C with Xigmatek S1283 installed, and 59C with the Intel stock cooler. I would check the contact of the heatsink and processor first. Your temp looks too high to me.
