Temps with a TRUE w/113cfm Delta were in the mid 40's in a 71F room( open case)
Now as sweet as that 118.5w figure is it could be lowered even more.
My setup had this:
Intel Burrage board
2600 SB chip at 3492( 8 threads with HT on)
2x4 gig GSKill DDR3-1600
PCP+C 610w Silencer
1-36 gig WD Raptor
EVGA 260GTX
Bottom line is it's really a sweet cruncher even at 3500mhz.
Not that expensive, low electrical use and nice temps.
Also damn it's fast in just about anything you'd want to do.
Make for a great daily driver also.
yeah get rid of the raptor (replace with ssd) and the video-card and find a 120 watt high efficiency psu and well you'll have about the draw of a sossaman with much more production, but I got a question does it really make sense for us crunchers to buy one with hyper-threading I mean think about it all that does is half the processing power for each workunit sharing the core, I mean that's great if your using the thing and multi tasking but otherwise I mean I have hyper-threading enabled on my dual core atom 330, but I told wcg to only use two threads and the processing time for each unit halved.
