Heat - Mobo - Pat

    A few questions....

    1) I need a recommendation for a good CPU heatsink fan solution which has something like a 120mm fan but need to have the fan perpendicular to the board as the CPU socket is at the side of MOBO and this leads to most 120mm fan kits to get in way of PSU. I was thinking along the lines of something similar to the shuttle CPU solutions in that heat pipe technology is used to bring heat to a radiator/fan which is perpendicluar to the board.
    The reason I'm asking is that my CPU is Northwood 3.4 (oc'd to 3.6) and at idle as I write this is at 46C (If it was Prescott I'd have some serious problems!!). Under load it clears 60 and makes a break for 65C, at which point the stock fan goes from 3450rpm!! and rockets up to >5000 rpm (WTF). At this it sounds like a Stuka dive bomber and people start diving for cover!!!:D

    2) Any websites or places that trade in Abit IC7 Mobos, particularly the Max3 edition. Even on ebay more often than not they do not come with all the original parts eg. no chipset fans, no Secure IDE device, no cables etc...

    3) Is there any way to determine 'beyond reasonable doubt' whether my MOBO is 'PAT' enabled. Its an Intel 865PERL. With these Springdale chipsets they didn't have PAT, but i remember some diagnostic program saying PAT was enabled and I do know that my MOBO is a very early revision, and that Intel, for a very short period in the start, released 865 chipsets with PAT enabled but soon disabled it, and gave it to the Canterwood (875).
