    alpha pal series in both my rigs...but 8045 is still the better of the two, as it uses the proper retention system...

    Alpha pal 8045 here.... Is it best to have air sucking or blowing over the sink... Got it sucking atm, but marzupial has just said it decreased his temps with it blowing....

    I was told, a while a go when i first purchased the sink to have the fan sucking the air away from it. However, i was bored the other day, flipped my Evercool over and my temps have dropped a few degrees.

    Still cant get a decent overclock with this pants CPU! :wallbash: Possibly my mainboard tho? Goin to uni soon, so an upgrade isnt priority....even tho it should be :grr:

    Don't know if you should be overclocking if you don't know that CPU fans have to blow :p...but anyway, the 1800+ Palomino is indeed pants, though Gigabyte usually make decent motherboards.

    using a CoolJag JAC103C.... a monster 533g solid copper HS with a 60x60x25mm 7000rpm fan. It's noisy but my CPU never climbs above 32ºC so I'm not complaining about the noise level.

    Ermmm....the Alpha should blow air AWAY from the Heatsink. As shown in the installation guide and on other review websites However, with my setup i seem to get lower temps when the fan is blowing air TOWARDS the sink, tis weird, but i aint complaining. :D

    I might have to try reversing the way the air blows, at the moment it sucks air from the heatsink, as per the installation guide, I might have a crack at blowing onto the sink see if it does owt to my temps :)

    tried both on mine, but sucking seems to be working better for me...i think it quite heavily depends how well your system takes out the hot air, and as i have 3 80mm (2 case, 1 psu) it works better at taking hot air out, rather then blowing hot air around the case...

    Another voice to the choir of PAL8045 owners. I'm running mine with a Panaflo L1A sucking. 46C off a XP2400+ @ 200x10, case temp 35C, ambient air temp 21C.

    I went for the 8045 for the lack of noise factor. It worked :)

    Strictly speaking, it's a TT, but it's the waterblock from their Aquarius II WCing kit. :D

    vantec 6030 (or some other last 2 digits) a tiny little copper heatsink, with a delta 7000 rpm fan on it. Very loud.
