thx for the input, i am too lazy to install that PAL thingie, and i just ran out of AS3, just waiting for the new AS5 to arrive

Man, every time I install a new board in a case, I cut 4 holes below the mounting points for the heatsink on the motherboard moutning plate in the case, that way, if I have to change a heatsink or waterblock, I just take the cover off the other side of the case, and undo the screws...no removal of the board needed...

I've been doing this for years, although I cut a large square opening that covers socket and northbridge. Found this to be especially convenient when I got my Prometeia.

Another vote for the Vantec Aeroflow.....quieter and cooler running than the Zalman, in my experience......

Here's a pretty decent comparison.

rlc, I can't even hear mine (with Enermax 92mm Fan) and I am running my 2.8c at 3.5GHz with 1.6 Volts at a Idel temp of 30c (62f in my room, with the heat on). I am very impresed with this product and would highly recommend it
