The only HSF available to me when i got my rig was the super orb, and frankly ,it sucks. The asus probe and bios monitor reports my cpu at 47ish idle, its hit 55 c at full load on hot day (cheap thermal compound). I'm looking to get another one and i'm torn between the alpha pep66t, the winfop38 or the swiftech mc370, any recommendations, which will fit? Man, im not looking forward to uninstalling the orb 
Also, i plan to oc my week 11 axia 1ghz when i get the new HSF and arctic silver. Should i bother with conductive paint, or just use the pencil, i.e. does the pencil last.
One last thing, has anyone heard of NEC ram? Is it any good? I'm wondering if its default settings are optimal for my system and how far i might push my FSB with this ram.
This forum rocks, i hope to get some top notch replies; compare with my 3dmarks below..
