nice to see a quad core workin in a 37P

dunno how good that zalman paste is but i'd be tempted to put some AS5 on instead, may well drop the temp a few degrees

how quick do you find the system and what rendering program's do you use?

Hi

I read a few reviews on the Zalman past and it seems to have similar peformance to AS5. I find it much easier to apply. Another QX6700 I set up with a Tuniq tower and the Zalman stuff runs at 50 deg full load which I dont think is bad.

The system is very quick

Render in Carera, Bryce, Poser and Truespace.
