I got this system setup and using it to type this right now. Been playing a few games with it and so far am I very impressed with the lack of noise. I am using the STOCK AMD heatsink and fan. The fan is of the 4 pin type for automatic speed adjust. The CPU is dual core 65 watts. This thing runs near silent. My power supply fan on the Antec True Power Trio 650 power supply is the loudest and it is hardly noticable. CPU temps are under 40C even when gaming. I now remember what hard drives sound like.
If this is the way CPUs are going there is little point in water cooling on a PC level.
