Got my SLK800A / Smart Fan 2 / AS3 setup yesterday from newegg
I have an AMD XP2500 that was using stock cooling and usually running in the low 40's at idle and would tip the mid/higher 40's when taxed. This was at stock speeds.
Got my new combo, popped on the AS3 (hasn't even cured yet), using the fan at full speed (a little loud..) and the temps wouldn't even touch 40.
I then oc'd my machine to a 3200+ (200fsb x 11mult.) and the temps won't go past 41 at full load while gaming
Time to go even higher!! hehe I must say that the clip on the SLK was very easy to manage; I had more trouble getting the clip off of the stock HSF.
Going to install another 120mm in front of my Antec 3700 case along with the rear one that's already there. Just bought a PCI slot cooler as well. It's running pretty cool in there now.
