no way to validate what cooling is used, you could use phase then set the TJmax in realtemp to make it look like you are sitting at air temps

I agree with this, expecially for ram. Corsiar and OCZ sending out cherry sticks when the real ones are no where near as close.
I still think ES chips should be ok, just cause of the cherry retails out there. Just cause you have a cherry chip, doesnt mean it will work out best in the end. The rest of your system has to be up to par, and you have to know what you are doing to get it up there as well.
I see ES chips on ebay all the time, but chances are they are about the same as retail.
