Hey guys I have 2 of the Silverado's w/AS2. One on the 1.1ghz and one on a Duron 750@900. My temps are nowhere near that of what it was rated for (37C). At idle right now my temp is 44C with Duron 900, voltage @ 1.6. I wish it did cool it down better but it doesn't, and also they miss lead people a little bit.
At Toms review they said it's slient, true but only on 6v, @ 8v you can hear it sliently and @ 12v you can definally hear it. At least for me, I had 1-2C drop from going 6v to 12v. I dunno maybe it's the mobo reader telling me the wrong temps or something. I get better results by turning my case fans on high than setting it to 12v, also I have good case cooling so this is not the issue.
I dunno, maybe it was tested in a room with 60F or something, only way I can see it being that cool. Granted my room is @ 80F most the time but that should change the temp that much. Now I'm not saying it's a bad cooler, but for hardcore o/c'ers I wouldn't recommend it as it's expensive and there are better cooling hsf's out there. But for those who like to o/c but also like quite computers this is an awesome hsf, even though it is a bit hyped.
