I actually just pulled the trigger too. I got the same motherboard as what you posted, an AMD 6000+ and the Tuniq Tower Heat Sink.

Good for you.

Your previous heat sink wasn't good enough?

My current setup is a P4, and I don't think it will work. I read that the stock setup with the 6000+ is not the best so I bought a new heatsink rather than messing around.

All that I have to say is WOW. The AMD 6000+ screams. With the heatsink that I bought, the CPU temp stays at 24C! (Thats pretty darn close to ambient temps)

That's about what my PC is at also. I haven't used a computer faster than this mac though

Give me more details. What's the new setup exactly? Comparison?
