I know this is a little OT, but I had to share this with people who actually know what the hell I'm talking about. (All my friends just stare blankly at me)
Just got my new Alpha PAL8045 w/ the Sunon 50CFM fan installed on my new ABIT KR7A-133/AMD-XP2100+, (w/ AS3) and had no idea how awesome this HSF really is! I had read all the reviews and stuff, but never bit due to the high cost. Well, I figured with all the money I just spent on the new setup, I might as well get a HSF to match. Using MBM5, my temps are sitting at around 37C full load, (Flight Sim 2002 Full Bore @ 1024x768, that's all the GF3Ti200 can handle). I've NEVER seen temps lower than around 45-47C even with my old mobo and Volcano 6cu+.
I guess my point to all this is, if you want serious cooling without a whole lot of noise, (the Sunon is WAY quieter than the Volcano I had, suprisingly!) this HSF is WELL worth the money!! I know this is all probably old news to most of you, but what can I say, I'm behind the times a bit....
