SYSmark 2007 Preview
All test setups usually failed at completing a full SYSmark 2007 preview run, which includes the e-learning, video creation, productivity and 3D sections. However, the Pentium Dual Core E2160 actually managed to complete some of them.

Potential fan failure is a good reason to use a push/pull fan set up on a tower CPU cooler.
I've yet to have a CPU fan fail as I've always bought quality fans with ball bearings, but if you use sleeve bearing fans, or have a problem with dust then the fans is a lot more likely to fail.
This is very interesting. I am suprised that the Athlon BE series does not run cooler than the Pentium DC.
All of this begs the question - If I want to build a system with decent performance (read: modern dual core CPU), but I want it completely silent, which CPU, and which heatsink would I have to buy?
I am presuming that a 3rd party heatsink might provide enough cooling to enable some of these CPUs to run without a fan without throttling.
