Fingers crossed. It had been a while since buying a new heatsink, and the evo was really amazing for me. In the past, I spent almost twice as much for something twice as heavy, and they didn't give me the performance of the evo. I almost wanted to put the evo on my Q6600 to see what the improvements would have been (going from a thermalright xp90), but in the end I decided that it really didn't matter enough to take the time. I don't think you can beat this thing for the money (at least as of a year ago).
Got the Evo 212 yesterday. Bought an additional fan, which runs fine at ~1800 RPM. Fan that it came with however only runs at 500 RPM and I can't get it to go any faster. I tried the 500 RPM fan alone on multiple fan ports, and it won't go any higher. 1800 RPM fan is fine though. CPU temperatures idle at around 18~22C, and only go up to ~26C under heavy load. Great purchase.
However...back on topic, instead of my computer freezing, I now run into this issue after the computer running for a while:

Afterwards, the PC hangs, freezes, and I cry myself to sleep. Only option here is to wipe or purchase a new hard drive at this point.
