I've owned Asus, Giga, A-open, Abit, and Intel MB's, yet this MSI definitely has impressed me.

Sesdave, you make some good points! Once I lapp everything I'll ramp up this CPU to see what it can really do! *oink*

Glad to hear that your lapping was successful. Obviously you knew what you were doing. Some people have posted little or no gain in lower temps. I assume skill (lapping) has more to do with it than anything.

I have the Thermalright Ultra 120 as well on my C2D setup. It was very difficult setting up the Thermalright 120. So difficult that I actually prefer the Tuniq Tower 120 for simplicity and the fact it comes with its own fan. The Tuniq fan is ceratainly a lot louder than the Thermalright.
