I've just installed the MINE on the above and am impressed at the reductions in temperature achieved over the stock AMD cooler.
The CPU is overclocked 210 FSB with a VID at 1.38V.
CPU temperatures from Everest as follows
Idle in Windows 21 deg C with MINE and 32 deg C with AMD
ORTHOS after 5 mins 34 deg C with MINE and 54 deg C with AMD
Needless to say I am very pleased and happy with the performance of the MINE, especially when compared to the stock cooler!
I've one question regarding fan speed
The motherboard supports CPU Smart Fan control - which I have enabled and set CPU Smart Fan Mode to voltage for MINE (3 pin fan power cable) and for the AMD set to PWM (4 pin fan power cable).
What I have noticed is that the MINE fan speed varies with temperature - between 800rpm and 1200rpm at idle and ORTHOS respectively. I assume the motherboard is varying the voltage applied to the fan
The question is, is this correct for the MINE? I understood from the MINE specifications that the fan speed was fixed at 1500rpm +/- 10%.
TIA

PS You can add this mobo to your compatibility list. The MINE is a good fit, easily clearing the electrolytic caps near the socket and most importantly clearing the CORSAIR DDR800 memory fitted in the 2 slots nearest to the CPU socket - the ones recommended by Gigabyte for Dual Channel memory.
