Already did that, skillyho. :D

I went to pick up a Hyper Tx2, but they had run out of them. So, and with the possibility to swap them if I'm not satisfied, I got a TT Mini Typhoon. Right now it's idling at 40ºC and goes near 50ºC at 2.4 Ghz, but keep in mind my room temperature is very high; it must be like 36ºC right now. A bit later through the day they will drop quite a bit.

So overall, I'm satisfied. I'll let the thermal compound sink in for a few days and then I'll start giving it the beans... I got it into Windows on at 2.8 Ghz but it rebooted as soon as I tried to load a savegame on Oblivion. But it can do it! Will try more vCore on a few days. :D
