Well...I am not mad but I did chop off the stock coolers in order to install HR-05 for NB and HR-05 SLI for SB (yeah I know, it is kinda an overkill)
The reason I cut it off is because I had to keep the stock PWM cooler (couldn't find anything else that fits PWM area)
I did install a 40mm fan over PWM tho
Now I am very happy w/ the temps (all use push pins, pwm 35c/50c idle/load)
