Arctic cooling 64 freezer pro

I put my rig together and replaced the stock Amd x2-3800 heatsink and cooler.


Old Temp 44c with stock
new Temp 35c with Arctic 64 Freezer pro

Yeah, these things are GREAT. I've got one in my system and it's got my X2 3800 idling at 26, peaking at 38.

What Mobos, and Cases are you guys running this in? I was thinking of getting one because it's the best bang for the buck (unless maybe you got a boxed AMD stock 4 pipe). However, I'm a little scared about that "sideways" design/mount for air flow etc. I'm worried it would cause pockets of dead/hot air in the case. Any concerns on loss of RAM cooling, etc?

I'm looking to cool a X2 4200 on a DFI NF4 Ultra in a Centurion 5 case.

EDIT: Just came across a couple reviews stating people couldn't install it in the "correct" direction, with one guy stating that it is an issue with mobos (DFI) that have the CPU rotated 90°.

Your gonna have to switch the socket around by taking your mobo out.
