:P but my temps are great on both gpu and cpu plus i always have headset on so noise really doesnt bother me i never tried lapping kinda scared of messing up heatsink :P cpu @ 3.6 idles 34 on two core and 37 on other two load is about 55c on prime and gpu idles 34c and load is about 45
you should try lapping, there's loads of metal to work with considering your just working with micro layers. temps will deffinately go down, i have only 5 12cm fans, 3 x 1000rpm, 1 x 800rpm, 1 x 1200rpm and my idle and load temps are well below yours. if i put faster fans on i shave a few more degrees but imhappy with my setup for now.

upto you though, sound is a thing for me, maybe its my ears cos 2 things i want is a quiet machine and quality speakers / headphones

i even modded the fan / cooling on my digital tv set top box, and put in sound proofing cos of the HDD. i think im a bit fussy. time will tell, im just modding a dell xps case to standard atx, gonna thread it soon.
