REPS: I hope desktop Palominos also have Power Now. You could use fans with temperature sensors and thus your PC would be very quiet unless there was some heavy workload. You have well stated what the customer want here, that's what I was looking for in HSF. Actually only JMC "Arctic Breeze Plus" seem to have made some try in this avenue. But I run my 1.2GHz at 1.33 so I prefer my Pep66T for the moment. anandtech.com Because of its temperature controlled fan, the Arctic Breeze Plus doesn't keep the CPU temperature as low as possible; instead it keeps the CPU just as cool as necessary, while making the least possible noise. Seen from an overclocker's point of view, the performance is disappointing. But not everybody is overclocking, and many people find low noise more important than cooling performance. Our Thunderbird-750 overclocked to 950 would not run stable with this cooler; however the cooler will provide sufficient cooling for current Athlon CPUs that aren't overclocked. So, ... I opted to PEP66T (v2.0) KT7 for the moment. But eventually I which to have a HSF under control of a thermal sensor. Gottfried
