Yes, yes I am.

No, I was merely posting specs per the company listings.

All I know is that the Typhoon stock is pretty damned quiet.
The Thunderblade in comparison will give more airflow with only slightly more noise.

If you look at TT's website every device they make is rated at 16Db.

I've looked, and they aren't.

If it were true, you wouldn't think they would keep that quiet.

Yes, I admit it...I exaggerated.
However...over at SPCR (folks who are really anal about noise), they have never been able to substantiate TT's claims about noise output and correctly point out that, just like PSUs, there is no industry standard for measurement.
In fact, obtaining readings below 25 dB (IIRC) requires fairly sophisticated test conditions...which TT (or most other manufacturers for that matter) probably don't employ.

Sorry about the lapse in veracity.

nice upgrade. 4000 was mighty tempting to me to, just couldnt wait that long

Big Typhoon arriving sometime next week.

I HATE my mobo tho, the A8N5X, it's so limited and I should have went for a DFI Lan party series Mobo to have better OC abilities.

Right now, the 4000+ runs at 2.8ghz without messing with voltages or htt, @ around 38C under load. Comp randomly restarts when I push past 2.8ghz. Oh well, once I get the typhoon I'll actually go into BIOS and change htt/set memory dividers and all that fun stuff and see if I can hit 3ghz.

Cheers

2.8 without really doing any setup is nothing to sneeze at.
38c under load ain't too shabby either.
I don't see heat being much of an issue right now...why not go for 3+ GHz immediately?

Just wondering how much you sold it for?

Because without messing with htt, 2.8ghz is all I can hit in software OCing.

And plus it takes time to OC, because you have to test different things in BIOS and I just want to get the best result once and for all when the typhoon comes in.
