If you say that is&#39;t not overclocked then why does your sig say that? [/b][/quote]

will the aero 4 cool my cpu from 39C to maybe 30C or less idle?

Don&#39;t forget Abu, that the HS is only as good as the air it is getting.
Unless you can manage to somehow duplicate your rather miraculous HDD results, if the HS is being fed warm air then the results will not improve too much.

Maybe you could try to improve your general case temps first and see if that helps your stock Intel HSF....

[abu_has_the_power]

does the hole side face the back of the case or the front? if it faces the back, then i&#39;ll flip one of my exhaust fans to blow cool air rite into the hsf. but does it face the back or the front?

[abu_has_the_power]

wat&#39;s the difference between the aero jet and the aero 4? other than that hte jet looks cooler. they both have similar specs.

[abu_has_the_power]

wat do they mean when they day "lap the base"? it&#39;s talking bout the hsf i know, but wat does lapping mean?

[clocker]

Many fans have an arrow embossed on the side that points in the direction of airflow.
If not, certainly you can feel which direction it&#39;s currently blowing.

Try swapping your rear fans so they are both blowing in.

yea. i&#39;m thinking of doing that. but 1st tell me wat lapping means

[clocker]

Check the base of your HS by running your fingernail across it.
If it doesn&#39;t feel absolutely smooth then it should be lapped.

Basically what they are talking about is sanding it...typically using very fine wet/dry paper on a piece of glass.
That&#39;s not really lapping, but it&#39;s what they mean....
