I'd like to take a moment and ask if you like seeing these little images of the sound clip, or if you just pass them over and go right for the sound clip? Please let me know if they should stay or be phased out - drop me a line and let me know: mpage@frostytech.com.

The D6TBA isn't too bad on the noise front, but as always the best way is really just to pop on the headphones and click the link below and give it a listen.

At almost 80 degrees here in the initial set of results the Titan cooler is looking like it should be in the pile of heatsinks you pass over at the store. With high temperatures on each set of copper interface tests things we don't have high expectations that the D6TBA will magically pull a head in the next round, but lets take a look shall we?
