Idle temperature was recorded after 15 minutes of idling at desktop. Load was generated by 10 minutes of Prime 95 (In-Place Large FFT). Ambient temperature was approx. 28ºC (84ºF).
Performance
Testing was done with the Stock Heatsink, and the Sunbeam Silent Whisper.
The Sunbeam suprisingly did good, dropping idle temperatures a good amount, and dropping the load an astonishing 9ºC! For a value heatsink, I'm impressed. Even with a smaller sized low-cfm fan, it still managed to cool very well.

Wow aesthetically they don't do a lot for me, they look quite ugly tbh. Although I'm sure that they'll push through the pixels quite well. I think I'll wait for next the next gen though. Agreed with Kemp here though, we need to have one for a review
I certainly wouldn't buy one - i can just imagine the driver issues now...
