Keeping a Prescott quiet and cool.

I find it interesting to read other people's experiences doing the same sort of computer mods I have done...particularly when it involves a Prescott. This guy is claiming a Prescott runs 15C hotter than a Northwood....sure doesn't for me. He claims his 350w PSU couldn't handle the current draw...

When he's through with his mods he calls the setup whisper quiet. Jeez....

"we were pleasantly surprised to find that this whisper-quiet combination"
"we were able to reduce the noise production of our Prescott system down to a hardly audible hum"

"If we wanted to quiet it down even further we’d need to remove the two 10.000-RPM Raptors"

...

I wonder how quiet that computer could REALLY be.

i've seen people running prescotts @ 60°C~70°C idle with stock coolers. im not really surprised. my zalman psu doent make much nosie, but then my temps rarely go high
