Well Done. I have my Duron 600overclocked to 1GHz and mt Taisol does great keeping it cool with thermal pad. I bought a tube of Arctic silver that I havent touched yet with temps no higher than 41C why bother lol

Very nice review. Only thing I would have liked to see is the BIOS temperature readings included in the chart comparing the temperature readings, and maybe temperature readings from MBM as well.

I've never seen the compunurse thermistor in person; how well does it physically fit between the chip and the HS?

Vampire, the thermistor fits against the edge of the core, not between the core and the hsf, see the picture. The plastic tip needs to be removed to allow better contact.

I've got a Taisol 742 and love it - I just pulled it off this morning and installed the adapter shroud I'd made up. Now I've got a 37cfm 80mm fan blowing down onto the chip (while I had it off I lapped the bottom of the HSF as well) It's pulled a good 4-5 deg C off the temps.

RE: Taisol review

Excellent job - one quick check. I've got the same heatsink on my KT7 and looking at it I wonder if you didn't mean .5 _CM_ space between the heatsink and the caps - .5mm is the diameter or a mechanical pencil lead. Your pictures seem to confirm that it is about .5cm as well.
