    Just picked this baby up at Fry's electronics. Ran Ortho for about 10 min and saw 8-10c degree drop in temp in HWMonitor. I also have RMClock installed and the temps are showing lower than HWMonitor?

    I'll see if I can post some temp differences later this weekend if anyone would like to see.

    Edit: Added temperature test results done around 76-77f ambient temp.

    I like this stand a lot and have been pimping it a good deal myself. It's tremendously portable, which is great, when you fold it up. Very small and light.
