so what's your room temp, like 50F (10C)?? brrr

Yeah, wow. It's 25C in here right now. A bit on the warm side, but, wow. Maybe it's like in high school English class - the football players in the back of the room liked to have the door to the outside open in the middle of winter so they didn't get too warm. Room temp for them was probably about 15C.


Based on a visual check of the heatsinks, the SP-97 looks like a better cooler. The SI-97A relies exclusively on the heatpipes, while the SP-97 allows for cooling with a standard heatsink design as well as heatpipes.
