Zalman fetishism
nothing so much interesting here, just that I found that the zalman heatsinks are just ... well, really nice. Worth having them just for the look

Oh yeah, forgot to put the specs :
- Zalman CNPS6000-Cu on a Athlon 1700XP+ T-BredB / Asus A7V333
- Zalman ZM-NB32J on an Excalibur Radeon 9000Pro in replacement of the screamer on the left (I never tought such a small fan can make that noise)
So, the installation on the graphic card was easy, mainly because the previous HS+F was fixed using the 'standard' chipset holes and a very small amount of thermal grease.
I havent measured any temperatures on the graphic card, but, the heatsink is a little hot to touch after desktop use. Not (re)installed games yet.

I just realised that the memory chips on my radeon were labelled 'Etrontech'. If you decompose, you've got 'Etron' and 'Tech.
I suppose everybody knows what 'Tech' is for (Technologies).
For the non-french speaking persons out there, 'Etron' is means ... 'shit' (in the most primitive form of the term). Wonderful name, in fact.

Those are nothing. You don't even need to translate this: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11682
Short : Yes.
Long : You may want to have a look at Rusty's in desk PC.
For me, it didn't worked good because the zalman flower is perpendicular to the fan exhaust, so I reached 70-80°C that way on an XP1800+.
Otherwise I could use a 120mm-fan PSU, but I have a normal nexus so it won't work ...
