Just thought I would let people know what happened with my recent upgrade. CPU was hitting 70C idle on stock HSF with no TIM. Bought AS5 and a AC Freezer 64 Pro. Temps in the whole case plus CPU dropped 50C on average! HD temps dropped as well!?!?

The Fan on the HSF almost never has to fire up the temp stays so low, when it does it stays at low RPMs. Ambient temps dropped about 5C and the HD temps dropped about 10C.
