Hey thank you.... that sounds fun.... but we should call it the ISK-Messiah

If anyone interesting in smaller and quieter CPU cooler for their 65W or lower AMD APU or Intel i3/i5, they can opt for this "Thermaltake CLP0527" very low profile (47mm) too. CLP0527 will keep CPU cool at very low 16dBA noise level (it should be quieter than Scythe 2100 at 33.67 dBA) and CLP0527 has impressive air flow at 38.9 CFM too (it's almost as much air flow as the massive Scythe 2100 model).......

Good stuff blue! I was looking at that one too! 38.9 CFM must be at the highest RPM.... Maybe one day I can get my hands on one and test it out. It's pretty nice looking too... Big Grin

Beer - is the blue light from the ISK very bright? Saw it for a second in the video and it looked quite bright, but not sure if it's on all the time or can be turned off?

It's not ..... I don't even see it since it's sitting on the right side of my tv..... on the left you will but it wont be bright.... and if you have the case flat ..... you can see it bounce off the tv stand and it's not bright.... actually makes a nice effect. Big Grin

If you don't want it on.... cut the cable inside or unplug....



Mick1152 I'm sorry.... about that.... LOL
