NEHALEM

With the release date of nehalem being pushed up to two months from now Intel needs to remove those damned NDAs so we can get some more benchies.

Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler @ Hardware Canucks

Something definitely lacking from this review, it starts off with defining the "advantages" of the downdraft design in terms of motherboard component cooling, but nowhere in the review is there any quantitative assessment of this "advantage". Does it or does it not deliver in these terms?
