Right. Down means, well, to go down while rise means to go up. Isn't that an auto-negation? Think longer when writing up something...

You don't really get to see the system inside the computer unless you have a clear side window... Also, the pump and radiator (If you're using less than 5 liters) takes a lot of space and not much is put into aesthetic on those 2. So the "pretty" part isn't the one you'll see most of the time.

Well I'm running my 6000+ with the stock cooler and it does maybe 38 at idle and max 58 at load. Maybe soon I will get an unexpensive but better heatsink. In my local retail store, they are selling the OCZ Vanquisher for only 25$. Does anyone have this heatsink and has things to say about it?
