This thing is huge. Running a P4 3.0E Socket 478 800FSB and was getting idle temps ~59c now they are ~45c (using included fan). Pretty easy to install.

I'm a big fan (heh) of these types. I usually duct them to a rear case fan, that way hot air from the CPU is pulled directly out of the case.

What material do you use for ducting them? Any pics?

usually I hack something together with thin posterboard. looks hackish but works ok. I don't have a camera, so no pics

on my P4 workstation, I have one of these on it which comes with a duct. works pretty well, I can almost get the CPU up to 4 GHz with it
