You want just a fan? or the heatsink too?

I'm using a Thermalright SP-94, with a Vantec Tornado 92mm (on a fan controller).

My idle temps are about 4*C above my room temp!

hehehe.

i was looking at those, and how do you attach the tornado to the heatsink? it looks to be a standard 80mm fan...

it has wire clips that look kinda weak, but they really hold it down tight, it's a bitch to install cause you gotta remove the mobo and the stock P4 plastic hs retainer, but it mounts really securely!
Google search it and read some reveiws, it's one of the best out there right now!
