This is why I always say to have plenty of fill servers. If you look at the boards there are tons of people that are happy with astraweb and some that aren't. This still doesn't negate the fact that more people use astraweb than anything else, and there's a reason for that. This is the way it goes with all servers, really. Having highwinds or usenetserver as your primary usenet provider isn't bad at all. Just combine it with astraweb or usenet-news blocks. As far as general completion goes, astraweb has tons more in certain content areas. I recommend people use a Highwinds & Astraweb combo or Readnews. Yes, I have used astraweb. I've used Readnews, and I've used Highwinds. All have their issues, all need fill servers. Without a fill server I recommend NGroups as your "only" host. If you use fills then Astraweb is great as it will pull MOST of the post. The one thing to note is that if you have 50 or 100mbit astraweb might not be the best choice as your primary server, you might be better off with highwinds, because in general they are faster. Still, it's a good idea to pick up a fill from astraweb. My current combo is actually Highwinds, Readnews, and Astraweb. Gives me about 100% completion on pretty much everything on usenet.

I am dropping Astraweb as soon as my month is over because lately it has sucked ass. terrible completion and slow as a snail. Have you even used it? I don't care what you think. Astraweb is terribad. Just go look at any other board. everyone is complaining. I have used Usenetserver for many years now with Astraweb as a backfill.

Small FFTs, not core temp the actual CPU Temp, core temps are off by about 8C or so. Also the ambient temp was rather low at that time, 5C or so. Was testing at night. I'm sure it'd be higher now since ambient has gone to 30C.. Big jump in weather this month. It'd be kinda risky to run like that in the summer. The H50 is comparable to high end air setups, with push/pull close to or out performing the Tuniq 120. The Noctura NH-D14 will out perform the H50 though, so if you want the very best cooling go for that. Though, you will have a big heat sink hanging off your board and getting in the way :) I mainly got it because I can't stand the huge air coolers on my board it makes it a pain to do any maintenance type things in the case.
