wow, you're in nice mode...should I feel special because you're not in another mode? lol. Use an i7 Bloomfield which are notorious for having a 4C delta between core 0 and 3 then get back too me. I never talked smack about the Koolance...but you seem suspiciously defensive of a product so I'll find someone who will give me proper information before I make ANY judgment. I think you have me pegged as a Swiftech fanboi...couldn't be further from the truth.
