Temperatures under load (boinc) are around 55 degrees celsius, e6400@3,2Ghz,
dual-radiator, everything laying free on my kitchentable.

You're temperatures seem pretty good to me.

I am using a MCR220 (dual) rad and these are my temps at various frequencies:

3.4 GHZ (1.325v) : 44 idle 58 load, ambient 35-39
3.6 GHZ (1.400v) : 45 idle 61 load, ambient 36-39
3.8 GHZ (1.460v) : 45 idle 63 load, ambient 39

(All centigrade), so I'd say your temps are within bounds. I use Speedfan to look at my temps. Core 2 ALWAYS = CPU temp, for some reason, and CORE 1 is always 2 degrees cooler than CORE 2.

I too had a problem with mounting an Apogee GT - vertically, it wouldn't fit because of the mofset sinks, and so I had to mount horizontally, even then, the block is pushing quite hard against the mofset sinks on the left of the socket.
