hehe, even when you're on limited options,
things can still work out OK
been bored, so I been trying to get good air cooling for my old sempron 2800
on a Gigabyte mobo w/ no mounting holes,
and capacitors in the way prohibiting the use of my good old Vantec Aeroflow,
it's been a bitch
Zalman is out of the question, and no one locally carries Thermalright
so I see this beast on the shelf a while back,
I figured what the hell, and picked one up today
I must say, I was kinda surprised,
didn't expect much from Gigabyte in the cooling department,
but it actually is cooling fairly well
dropped cpu temp about 4-8 C so far,
and the AS5 is still in the "settling in" phase,
so it could get even better
and it's quiet
was running a Cooler Master heatsink w/ a Thermaltake 80mm Smart Case Fan,
I had to kick my PC out to the dog house at night it was so loud
