Cooling a Prescott P4

Hi all. Just wanted to post some info on a recent improvement. Been having the same trouble as everyone else cooling my P4 540J. Used the stock HSF and an AC freezer7 with equal results: idle in the 50s, medium load (TW2005) in the 60s with a summer room temp around 80F. Thermaltake Tsunami case (no window).

Just put in this Gigabyte bad boy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835128008

Used AS Ceramique instead of AS5 (trying anything) and it dropped my temps 8-10 C. Pretty significant. Now it's idle in the 40's and medium load in the 50's - same room temp.

First improvement I've had - Oh happy days!
