Ok... ZALMAN TEST RESULTS.
P5N-32-E-SLI-PLUS with Q6600 (Stock Speeds for Test)
Single 8800GT (NO OC for Test)
Ambient Air Temp 20 Deg.
The test consisted of 5 Back To Back Runs of Futuremark 06.
Stock Cooler Stock Fan Speed (out the box as it were)
No Load after 10 Min
50 Deg C
Futuremark Passes max temp
1. 74
2. 77
3. 80
4. 82
5. 82 (If I did more tests, I believe it would keep heatsoaking higher)
VF-1000 60% Fan Speed (Set from Bios)
No Load after 10 Min
43 Deg C
Futuremark Passes max temp
1. 50
2. 52
3. 52
4. 52
5. 52 (No Crap There...)
That is a "Delta" of 30 Degrees LOWER... Unreal!
Remember, this is only 60% Fan Speed. It is dead silent and performing Very Very Well.
I did not test the stock cooler at higher speeds because it becomes REDICULOUSLY LOUD.
I have had this product twice now, Once on my GTS and now on the GT. I am completely impressed with the performance and looks of this.
Please spend the money, it's a No Brainer Upgrade. Don't even think about it, just buy it.

I've since moved the fan to the right of the heatsink:p:

Brian MP5T & Simps, are you guys using any heatsinks for the PWM area?
it's a two phase analogue PWM, where you can see 2X 3 sets of the MOSTFETS together, thats them, without any heatsink I tested with my IR sensor around 90-110 degrees, and immediately took the cards out to stick a heatsink on them.
Very nice mad_skills
I have an P5N-32-SLI-PLUS.
It had heatpipes that went from the NB and SB to Banks of Fins that were on the Mosfets by the CPU.
When I removed the Heatpipes, I left the Bank of fins where they were..

Behave!
Nice Brian, I see you've gone from your thermaltake CPU heatsink and used the cnps9700, good on ya ;)
Here's some pics of my recently lapped Tuniq and E6750. My first time doing it. Went 320 -> 600 -> 1500 grit. I was completely surprised that I didn't fry my CPU. That said, if I didn't fry mine, no one will.:up:

Try and find 2000 and 2500 grit.
It makes mirror finish without need to polish the base.:up: And will make your Tuniq even better for sure.:up:
I used 320/600/1000/1500/2000/2500 profiles on my old HyperTX and look what mirror you get:

My new Asus P5E Mobo should be arriving tommorow :)
I will post pics of it and my build asap!
:)
Gosh it's quiet
=o
RIGHT HERE WE GO
Upon waiting for my P5B Deluxe to be returned from Asus... I knew I was going to wait a while, meanwhile I couldn't stand it after a few weeks of having crysis but couldn't play it, so I went ahead and spent some money on a new X38 mobo :)... My Asus P5E had arrived.
Here are some pics of the mobo and my build when it was finally finished:

Oh yes, and there was a problem when I was fitting my CNPS9700, from what I gather it was a support clip that is used when putting the cooler on a AMD mobo. I ended up having to file it down so it could squeeze in with all them heatsinks :D

Green UV Springs for watercooling hose, but I used them on some of my cables :)
As for the moment i've only got my E6600 @ 3.06GHz, 1363fsb, 23'c idle.
But tommorow, after i've fixed a few audio issues, i'm going to reach alot higher.
Sorry if there was to many images.
Next on my list is a 8800GT or a GTS Rev.2 to replace my sketchy ATI Radeon X1800 XT
Please comment :D
