You're right Jarlax. A Zalman (at least the all copper ones) can handle pretty much any P4C "air" OC you can throw at it, when running the fan wide-open. I've got a [email protected], a [email protected], and another [email protected]. All three cpu's are running 'actual' Vcores at 1.65 - 1.68V. All are running 2 Distributed Computing clients concurrently, 24/7, every day, non-stop.Jarlax said:I use the Zalman 7000AlCu and I love the damn thing! It is extremely quiet. In fact it is the quietest fan in my case. I have idle temps around 32/33 and load temps around 40/42. If you are going to oc a prescott or a 3.2+ chip it might not work as well, but for my 2.4 it is golden. See sig for more details of what it allows me to do.
This is pretty intensive use, but my full load temps never exceed the upper 40's*C (Via AsusProbe)! Impressive for a very quite, IMO, HSF. I prolly wouldn't buy it for a Pressie OC though. But hey, if I had a Pressie available, I wouldn't hesitate to toss it in one of my Zalman rigs, just to check it out!
BTW - I see you're from my neck of the woods...
