@Taz-nz. Whats your opinion of these two CPU coolers. I'm still in the market for one.

I hear a lot of good things about thermalright 120's. Very popular HSF.

Very nice Volts, and great overclock too, probably has a more to give with a little more voltage. :applaud: :cheers:
I've really got to replace my old engineering sample C0 stepping E8500, it's likes the volts a little to much and I'd really want to be at 4.5ghz+ stable at sane voltage on a day to day basis.

I've running a Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme myself, so you can guess which one I recommend, but I suggest getting the newer Thermalright True Black version, if for no other reason than that it comes with two sets of fan mounts, so you can run a dual fan push pull setup, saves running a single noisy High RPM fan.

If your still running the intergrated graphics your doing well, from all accounts I've seen the intergrated graphics normally cries blood murder somewhere in the mid four hundred FSB range, and going my your clock speed your running a 450mhz FSB, so your probably almost at the point where you'll need a standalone graphics card to go any faster. Still a great overclock and really nice volts.
Hows your heatsink hold up under a burnin test like orthos ?, while MAME isn't as good at heating up your CPU as Orthos and alike, there are a number of ROM that will happily pin both cores to a 100%, so you need good cooling to make sure the system is stable in MAME and not just on the desktop. Your low volts are possibly your saving grace on this one, but I'd be interested to know what temps you are getting.

Celeron 300A now that's old school overclocking, my mates still runs his old 300A overclocked to 450Mhz as a internet gateway and print server, The system is on it's second or third power supply and about it's forth hard drive but the CPU it just keeps going and going.

For graphics I currently have an ATI 1800xt 512mb.
IDLE is normally around 27C depending on ambient temp. After a couple hours of Team Fortress 2 it is about 43C. Orthos gets it up to about 50C, higher if it is hot in the room.
