On Case-Fans.. I had a problem with them in the 90's in that too much airflow caused an electrostatic imbalance and even caused the system to crash ! ( was a MC68040/30MHz driving 20 Terminals + 6 printers ). A recent article in a UK Computer mag. last week relating to today's PCs and cooling fans just reminded me of the problems I had in the old days !

BUGGI - Aparently you didn't look to closely at the heatsink. It clearly has a 15mm thick fan, which, along with the size of the HSF, would indicate to me it's a standard AMD OEM HSF, which is designed to dissipate @95W effectively. And you and Doug think AMD so overdesigns their standard HSFs that they can handle almost double the heat load? Now who's dreaming?
