Thermalright XP-120

if you guys think the SLK series heatsinks are huge, boy are you in for it now. check out the new prescott cooler. the crazy thing is, its a passive cooler. i think it must be meant to coexist with the new BTX formfactor which implements passive cooling for the CPU as well.

You have got to be kidding. Some thing like that would make moving any drives in the lower half of the case a royal pain... The case will either have to do without those 2 extra HD bays so many people use, or do some real redesign. We can forget about useing the front intake to blow over the hard drives at any rate.

yep, its hynix BT-D43, 4.3ns chips. take a look at the memory chips here. those are the exact same chips i have. note in the serial number string, it ends in BT-D43, thats what you want to look for.

hmmm, that link says that thermalright uses a 120mm fan, not passive, might have to look into that! My poor little presshot is about to burn up with this summer heat ok not really but maybe it'd take it further...
