It'll take time to top the design of the TRUE. They did just pop out the Copper TRUE 120, I guess they'll ride it for a bit longer.

The IFX-14 was after the TRUE wasnt it?

Just as a reference, how much temp drop should I expect going from stock to TR ultra 120 extreme? Last time I used Zalman on my p4 machine, it literally didn't lower any temps just quieter which is why I decided not to go with Zalman this time around.

Hm, I just installed TR ultra 120 extreme and I see that the temps have dropped by 10C more or less. It's now around 39-40C @ idle and 58 -60C when using prime95. But is this normal? Aren't I supposed to see more drops? I was expecting somewhere around 15-20C drop, but to be honest this is less than what I expected. I'm using the provided fan @ 100% speed all the time. 40C @ idle seems a bit high for this cooler....hm....

Mine idles at 31 @ 4Ghz with the Noctua. If I've been in my room for a few hours with the door shut it will idle at 33-35.
