The SI-120/128 are the better ones as you also cool your regulators,ram ect at the same time.

 

In a CM Stacker case with the rear fun guard removed and Silverstone FM-121 fans for both cooler (SI-120) and case my Optron 146 overclocked to 2.950 runs 2C over room temps.

The PWMIC runs 3C over room temps.

 

I used the "grey goop" that came with the cooler and read temps with Smartguardian.

 

I also have a crossflow fan that I never use...when I do the CHIPSET temps drops 2C ,the CPU stays the same ,the PWMIC drops 1C....but my 7900GT comes up 1C.

 

I also find (at least with my case) that cutting the fans back as much as 1,000 rpms does not change the temps.
