Now for the good part!the performance. I know that appearance is important to many modders today, but performance is what we are paying for.

The test system is an Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard with a P4 3.06GHz CPU. There are 6 Antec LED fans in an Antec server case to keep the entire system cool. To ensure an accurate measure the difference between the ambient temperature and the CPU temperature as reported by the Intel Active Monitor. The Intel Active Monitor uses the probes that are built onto the mobo. One probe measuring CPU temp and 2 case zones temps are measured.
