They have not even had the boards long enough to send out and get a return at the time the OP was receiving his and then posting. Everything seems geared to being a conspiracy of sorts and I got my board right out of the shipping container and sent to me and the fan retainers are on the NB chipset fan and the heat tube fins were about 85 degreee from perpendicular on the LT X48 as they were on my previous X38 board. And no plastic packaging on my NB sink either.

Old OEM type 70mm fan cable tied onto the NB sink aimed so it blows at the video card results in NB temps that so far are never over 42C on my board when loaded. Wait until summer hits. Hehehe.
