    I just had some fun last night taking the Fusion Block off with the hair dryer method, it came off pretty easily. What the hell did they use as thermal paste though? it was like melted plastic, very hard too, that must have been causing such heat dispersion inefficiency problems.

    So, from experience guys, do you think it would it better for me to re-seat the Fusion Block with AS5, or shall I just use the Thermalright HR-05 IFX on the NB and SB?

    I'm think of getting the SLI version of the HR-05 because they have curved heatpipes that stick out of the way of most components, this would be especially useful for the SB because thelawns experienced a tight fit against his 8800 GTS
