Any chance of testing the Supreme with the nozzle plate removed? I did that for a while on my E8400 but I'd be interested to see how it fares on i7. I'm running a rather restrictive loop at the moment...Supreme + Fuzion GFX 2 + RS360 + MCR220 + PA120.1. Running the Supreme without the accelerator plate seemed to make it more free-flowing than the Sapphire Rev. A it replaced, but any real performance data on how it affects performance on i7 would be awesome
