I can not find this anywhere (Newegg/CompUSA/ZipZoomFly/XPCGear/Pricewatch). Gigabyte says its available now. Stumped. Any clues?

Also, how well is this thing going to fit in a ASUS Crosshair and NOT bump up against the Northbridge heat pipes OR block the memory banks? I have been playing HE*L trying to find a performance fan-based cooler and this product just might fit. Not brave enough to step up to watercooling just yet... :)

Why is no Thermaltake Big Typhoon cooler on this test. I surely wanted to compare the results with this one also...

what were the idle/load temps on these CPUs on stock speed?

temp @ 3.8GHz is useless...

can you add a different more efficent fan to increase cooling or even add another fan on the other side to increase, or is the gigabyte fan fairly solid?

Hi everybody
I was able to get my hands on the G-Power2 Pro Cooler!Aftera long search for a good processor replacement, in a harsh environment. I tested it on a variety of mainboards....I am a custom made computer builder in the NY metro area for over 15 years. I was looking for a replacement of the average processor cooler. My last test on the device was on Maximum Extreme QX9650, 2GB DDR3, with 8800 Ultra 2X 150 WD, and 1X 1000GB WD: the installation (for the G-Power Pro Cooler) was as easyy as easy can be, very quiet, fan face the memory which took a little heat from it.
Highly recommended to eeveryone who runs a computer with space (either AMD or Intel mainboard)! The only thing I am missing is the four pin connection...the device comes with a three pin connection.
Definitely my choice for replacement of processor cooler. The price is right, and performance is great!Looking forward for the next generation!!

it seems gigabyte has 2 models of the g-power 2 pro. the GH-PSU23-PB, that comes with a standard 4-pin connector and the GH-PSU22-LB, the one that comes with the VB cable.
I got the one with the 4-pin... I'm not that much of a techie so I would like to ask, how do i max out my fan speed? It says its a PWM smart-fan, so does it adjust automatically to the cpu temp? my CMOS setup (MSI board) is currently in thermal mode, but i think there is a custom mode called speed mode, have to look again...
i have an AMD 64 X2 4200+, my idle temp is 28-29 celsius and loaded temp is 34 (after playing more than 30 minutes of crysis). are these figures good? don't know how to add ambient temp factor in the equation, but i live in the Philippines and its currently rainy season here.
