between 34 - 42 degrees C at minimal load and 50 - 58 degrees C at load... when i get my new heatsink saturday ... the Prolimatech Megahalems, what temps do u guys think ill be seeing?

I really can't answer that, as the whole case ventilation is crucial too.

I'd expect to see a 5-10c drop in temps, if your case airflow is good.

Make sure you have an exhaust fan and a quality psu fan, and bodaggit should be correct.

Load temps, you could very well see temperatures drop More than 10c even, considering the prolimatech is the best air cooler on the market.

Where can you get the Prolimatech? I can't find it on NewEgg.

[just a noob]

i'm with bomber on this, i wouldn't be suprised if you saw drops greater than 10*C from the stock cooler to the megatron, on my e5200 at stock i went from 65*C on load at the stock 2.5ghz, and when i switched to the true 120, it now sits at 3.7ghz loaded, with temps at 37*C

Oh dang, the prolimatech really dropped in price. AWESOME!
