Yeah i have hear dof people having problems with them, but I have never had any problems. I am not getting an alpha, if I get anything it will prolly be a hedgehog. I have read reviews of those coolers and they have got some pretty impressive scores. They even look to compete with if not better the hedgehog in some cases. Plus they just look cool as heck. So if I have the choice of spending 30 on an alpha, 50 on a hedgehog, or 25 on an OCZ, with the fact that from what I have seen the OCZ's do a good cooling job and they look awesome(not to say the hedgehog doesn't) then i will prolly go with the OCZ. More input would be nice. Especially from people that have used them. Thanks
