Stupid AMD I was hoping for a price DROP on the 4400 but now this just gives me more reason to wait for Conroe. I've always owned AMD systems but its looking like I'll be going intel by the end of next summer.
Case temps are just fine maybe a degree or so hotter. Thats nothing my system is just as stable as ever and my video card is cooler. As long as you have other fans in your case then your plenty fine. The cooler is very much worth it. People who say don't get it haven't used it so I wouldn't...
I got the Accelero X2 by Artic Cooling and just installed it today. Its cools way better then stock and is pretty much silent. I can only hear a very faint low hum at the highest fan speeds and the rest of my comp is pretty quiet too. Huge improvement over the stock cooler. Highly reccomend.
Well I just ordered the X2 for my 1900xt because every review I've read raved about the low noise and performance. I doubt you could go wrong with either. The X2 is about $10(MSRP) cheaper too if that matters.
