As per his other compy with the same cooler

I have set the Thermal Control Module to control aroud the set point of 22'C which is monitored by the MOBO Winbond sensor. I have provided a 10 minute load test result using Prime95:
Case Temp - 32'C
No load (idle) - 22'C
Max. Load Temp - 32'C

During test, case temp had also rose 3'C due to excess heat generation.

But that was a P4, which runs quite a bit hotter than the C2D depending on the OC

What is funny is that I have often thought we have the same taste. Unfortunately not always the same funds to spend. LOL.

yeah! i hate that...my stacker case fan bracket cant close with fans in it because my X1950's artic cooler is too wide :(
Yeah, I had that prob with my X1800 w/ the X2. The trick is to not use the filtered mount. Screw the fan into the bracket instead.
