heat sink question
Is the Globalwin WBK38 heat sink good enough to keep a 1.4ghz t-bird cool?

Yeap.
The heat might be a bit higher, but it'll get the job done. I'm currently using the CAK-38 (Copper heatsink with the 7k fan.) What I've done to quiet down the fan a bit is reverse the flow of air, so that it's sucking air up through the heat sink and I've put an alpha like cover around the f and hs. It's still hearable, but much quieter. Godbless Alpha for their inventive idea.
