I am thinking of trying to downgrade from Big Shuriken to plain Shuriken. The CPU I will be cooling will be the AMD Athlon II X2 Regor with a thermal design power of 65W, or possibly the single-core Sempron 140 Sargas with a thermal design power of 45W. (I'm given to understand that the Sempron is a Regor with one of the cores turned off at the factory.)
Questions:
- * Does anybody have experience trying to install a Big Shuriken on a micro-ATX motherboard in an Antec Minuet or similarly small case?
* Can anybody suggest whether the plain Shuriken (100mm instead of 120mm) will be up to the task of cooling quietly?
