I am talking about the Ultra-120 Extreme, which gave me an average of 15C better load temps than the Ultra-120 original. They are NOT the same product. And the original Ultra-120 gave me about 20C better results than the Big Typhoon they replaced.
Take it from a guy who has replaced a lot of heatsinks ;-) (3 or more samples of each of the above)
I agree with you about AMD - but Core 2 duo and quad are incredibly robust. I have been running 50% overclocks from the day Core Duo came out, and none have lost a MHz of overclock over time. I won't talk you into breaking your hardware, but running cooler will certainly minimise that, so I would ditch the Typhoon.
3.45 is achievable on very safe voltages on Q6600s.
