I wouldnt think it is tht much, but even if it only sheds 1 or 2 degrees, that is still something.
With the Vapor X chamber, heat is equally distributed to all of the fins, so even sticking the heatsinks onto just one fin would allow it to draw out a little extra heat.
I were going to mod my second one, but I've gone and misplaced my Akasa thermal tape so will wait untill I find it so I can sink up those VRM modules
I need to buy more ramsinks too since I'm trying to sell a whole lot, so I'll wait untill my Sorbs sell then buy some fresh ransinks (Going to stick my copper sinks in with the Sorbs and keep the thinner aluminium ones).
The only annoying thing with the stock cooler is how stupidly tiny that GPU block is. Seriously there was enough space for one at least 33% larger
.
My Arctic L2's arrived today, and I just held one over the cards to double check that it definately wont fit, then packed it back up and requested an RMA
Also, the copper base of the GPU block is horribly unpolished and uneven, its the tackiest thing i've ever seen lol.
