1. I can not find this anywhere (Newegg/CompUSA/ZipZoomFly/XPCGear/Pricewatch). Gigabyte says its available now. Stumped. Any clues?

Also, how well is this thing going to fit in a ASUS Crosshair and NOT bump up against the Northbridge heat pipes OR block the memory banks? I have been playing HE*L trying to find a performance fan-based cooler and this product just might fit. Not brave enough to step up to watercooling just yet... :)

But water cooling is not that great man for overclocking. Ofcorse, look nice and it's silent, but a big typhoon for example, can be 2x more effective on cooling.

2. Why is no Thermaltake Big Typhoon cooler on this test. I surely wanted to compare the results with this one also...

3. what were the idle/load temps on these CPUs on stock speed?

temp @ 3.8GHz is useless...

4. can you add a different more efficent fan to increase cooling or even add another fan on the other side to increase, or is the gigabyte fan fairly solid?

5. You guy's really (rally?) need a copy editor!

6. Hi everybody
I was able to get my hands on the G-Power2 Pro Cooler!Aftera long search for a good processor replacement, in a harsh environment. I tested it on a variety of mainboards....I am a custom made computer builder in the NY metro area for over 15 years. I was looking for a replacement of the average processor cooler. My last test on the device was on Maximum Extreme QX9650, 2GB DDR3, with 8800 Ultra 2X 150 WD, and 1X 1000GB WD: the installation (for the G-Power Pro Cooler) was as easyy as easy can be, very quiet, fan face the memory which took a little heat from it.
Highly recommended to eeveryone who runs a computer with space (either AMD or Intel mainboard)! The only thing I am missing is the four pin connection...the device comes with a three pin connection.
Definitely my choice for replacement of processor cooler. The price is right, and performance is great!Looking forward for the next generation!!

7. i wanted 2 see a pic wid the lights on... :(

8. nick come back in 3 week waiting for 4 pin cooler amd sand pic
