The results received from the Dual 120mm Monster Radiator were slightly better than the original 120mm Radiator that was included in the Space 2000+ Water Cooling Kit. I noticed that there was a 1-2 radius seperating both products during idle and load times, but where the Dual Monster 120mm Radiator shines is in overclocked environments. The system was running in overclocked mode (VCORE 1.8, FSB 147, Multiplier 12x) at 1.7 GHz and kept a steady system temperature of 33 degrees Celcius. The 80mm Radiator was some what of a disappointment although temperature results were respectable. The results were equivalent to an air cooling heatsink and this is due to the limited amount of water flowing through the radiator cooling the AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU core. The 80mm fan is no match for a 120mm fan or dual 120mm fans at lowering water temperature.

FanStorm is a fan controller that helps manage airflow in your pc controlling up to 16 fans simultaneously. It uses a technology called "Pulse Width". This design does not produce heat, unlike traditional fan controllers that use a resistor. This technology also helps control heat automatically without the need to flip a switch or turn on a fan.

The feature set on the MSI is up to their usual standards. The full retail motherboard will provide you with more brackets and extras than you can shake the proverbial stick at. With optional Gigabit LAN, Bluetooth and WLAN support, the GNB MAX can be specified to a disarmingly high standard.

Vantec has once again proven with their Nexus they make fabulous products. I hope for some people they start to make some new faceplates and also enable an option to get a Fahrenheit readout.

Overall, this cooler is highly recommended, you can't go wrong with the FalconRock. Rated for AMD processors up to the Athlon XP2 800 TBred, this cooler should be able to take most anything thrown at it in terms of heat.
