I modified my retention element on the mobo, so I could mount my Zalman 9500 with studs through the mobo- just like a waterblock would.... knurled nuts and all.
My ambient temp is 21 degrees, idle is 31-32, load is 46-48 with 1,37v and 50-52 with 1,45v, but my zalman is only running at 7v.

But the sad thing about the cnps 9500 is, that its too heavy then its inside a case so it wont make contact with one side of the core, stupid mounting thingy.
