    a8n-sli overclock hd corruption

    Best Heatsink

    i guess mbm will report the same temp, but the problem is that it wont suuport your board out of the box since it is too new. can you touch the Heatsink if it shows temp 64? with xp-120 and a 1200rpm fan my cpu reaches 50° under load. sal

    i use a xp120 with a noiseblocker sx1 12cm fan. the 1200rpms the fan offers i more than enough, but you should check if the xp120 fits. the nice side effect of the xp-120 is the airflow on the surronding components (rams etc). and you cannot hear anything from it =) sal

    the a8n cannot lock the ide-channels. its a bug asaf, and it will totaly corrupt your partition over 240 or something. also the first 2 s-ata ports (nforce) are not locked correctly ....

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    if you go passive you should definitly have a good case cooling. in your case you should use case-fans if the temp difference between open and closed is that great. but anyway i think that even 53° should be no problem.
