Meh, call the dude who told me to run it an idiot! loll
Yeah i'll think about the Zalman tomorrow. Which one should I get btw? There's two on Newegg. And I can't believe neither are with RED leds....my whole case glows red. Neither green nor blue would match.
I have the OCZ Vendetta which costs $27 and I'm a 500MHz over 3GHz. Temps are around 38c idle, 50c under load. The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 PRO is also a good choice if you don't want to spend much money.
