I don't see the OCZ on this comparison chart, but both versions of the thermalright ultra 120 come out on top.

Some testing disparity emerges in comparisons by different reviewers if different fans are used or if the testing methodology changes, and hardocp seems to try hard to eliminate (or thoroughly document) any changes to their test setups.

I have an ASUS P5K-E with 2 x 2GB of PC8500 Mushkin Ascent RAM.    I went to Mushkin's forum and asked them.   He shot back with this.   ASUS didn't have Mushikin listed and I don't like Kingston.   


I love this RAM.

Sorry guys, I thought you were talking RAM, my bad.

I have an ASUS Silent Knight II as my E8400 Cooler.    At idle the CPU temp is 27 degrees.   The Cores are at 35 degrees each under load.

Depends on what the bottom of your heatsink is made of before you choose a thermal paste.  Yes Artic Silver is top notch but i your using aluminum rather then copper there are better alternatives.
