Bought 1 of these myself changing from a stock fan to this and it changed my temps as follows:

Past:
Idle: 44C
Full Load: 63C

Current:
Idle: 32C
Full Load: 51C

I like the GeminII it's been a real good performer for me. Under load +6-8c. not seen my CPU over 43 in a room temp of 97f.

Here is a website on the top 5 in cat. Some do have the ability to have both AM@ and 775 sockets. I know mine does, and I believe the Freezer 7 does also...

I would go for the Arctic Freezer pro 64, mine cooled great when I had it. 3.05GHZ, 1.6V, 55*C on my old Brisbane
