Some Cheap Insurance For Air Overclockers

We all know overclocking means more heat. Well, what happens when you shut down your comp? Does that heat just magically disappear (in case you thought this was a trick question, the answer is no)? Here's a device that can give ya a bit of piece of mind and extend your cpu's life:

Reduce down to $9.99 US at PCMods from $14.99 last I checked.
p.s. What's the cheapest anyone here (ie. Pinto or Pimpin Matt) can get Kingston HyperX DDR 400MHz (PC3200)? I'm just interested, that's all.

well my PC is on 24/7 so this is not so tempting... another solution might be to hook your cpu fans to a second PS and then not switch that one off... (sorry, I always think of the cheapest soution)

Or you could just leave one side of your case unscrewed and pull it off when you finally go to sleep

DDR PC3200 184-pin DIMM module
CL3 (Intel specification) standard (3-4-4 and 3-3-3 timing)
Peak bandwidth of 6.4GB/second (dual-channel)
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) support
256MB, 400MHz, CL3 (3-4-4), Non-ECC for around $40
512MB, 400MHz, CL3 (3-4-4), Non-ECC for around $90
128MB, 400MHz, CL3 (3-3-3), Non-ECC for around $25

Is that Kingston HyperX DDR ram, or just generic brand. It makes a big difference.

Yeah, what Homey V said. I want it to do at least CL2 at 400 mhz. Yeah, I realized that JEDEC has "blessed" that speed yet, but I'm just interested. Kingston HyperX, Corsair, and TwinMos (they use the same chips as Corsair......only cheaper!!) are the companies I'm looking for.
Gotta buddy building an Nforce2 system and, apparently, cash burns holes in one's pockets every now and then
