Thank you guys for the reply.

I think I'm going to buy a lapping kit and maybe do the q6600. I think when the Xigmatek had the original fan on it blew more air from what I remember. I think it made a difference in temp but I guess I have more testing to do.

I'll see if the lap does any difference in temp and see *if* I do the lap on the Xigmatek if it'll drop temps also. I think I'm hesitant since there's a chunk cut off to make it flat and I don't want to let any liquid out of the heatpipes.

If that's the case I should of gone the watercooling route.
