I hope you like your fans loud because the FM122 is LOUD, I have one. It does push alot of air but supposedly not what its rated at and the controller is pretty cheap.

Sanyo Denki SAN ACE 38mm 12x12 forever !!!

Grab one and controll it with a rehobus or some other controller it has the best static pressure you can find, have 3 on my rad at 6,5volts

Yeah I noticed it is loud, but only at 2400rpm - I won't likely use full speed other than when priming, and stats show approximately 20db at low speed which is the same as my 9700, inaudible from outside a closed case. Perhaps you can verify this? Also what size is the controller?

The TRUE and FM122 should arrive tomorrow, and I've bought a lapping kit as well so she'll get a good lap before installation. As for TIM I'll probably use my STG-1 paste as I have tons of it and it's probably better than Thermalright's stuff.

I am running low 60's while running prime95 on small fft.

Your vcore is a little lower than mine but still, that's very impressive, fully 20C cooler than what I'm getting with my Zalman. Looks very proimising...

EDIT: just realised that they do a FM122B which has a black controller, so I'm now getting that one.
