ahh yes, the dfi transpiper only covers the pwm area, ive just realized... I am thinking of getting one, but is it a case of bad contact between the pwm and the heatsink, or not enough brute cooling? All you guys talking about lapping the heatsink and swapping the thermal paste make the heatpipe brute cooling idea sound like compensating for a problem instead of solving it...

Also, can someone help me get over my confusion, and tell me if i am right to think that the straps are a part of the memory divider? Like the 200/xxx dividers are one strap, the 266/xxx ones are a different strap, etc etc...
