I have a rev2 storm there's not much difference, if you want to keep on using it that's your choice. The information about the D-tek vs the storm is on this forum you can do a search yourself.

I DID ask others before I decided to hold on my v2 - most people said the difference is rather subtle, in the single-digit Celsius range which is nothing compared to the problems I am having right now. My current CPU temp is WORSE than it was WITH STOCK AIR COOLING which is clearly not about Storm v2 vs Fuzion, don't you think?
Other than some bored or extreme OC'er noone gives a about 6-8C extra, I think.

PS: my main reason many years ago for going WC was to get a silent machine AND great OC performance.

No. Should I? Only 2-3 weeks ago my old Opteron setup was running fine at ~3.0GHz...

take a picture of your setup.

First I have to find my XT for that...
