It's about 4-5c cooler than it was without a fan. I need to put AS5 on. I'm sure once you put a fan on it, the AS5 will make a lot more difference.
Thats quite impressive - I've added 2x40mm fans on the Northbridge and i get 40c idle at stock voltage. I also added 3x120mm Scythe Ultra Kaze 2000 to my p182 and lapped my TRUE which allowed me to drop my vcore significantly

Think i should try what Abducted did

Since it seems like there a big difference in the mount quality of NB/SB heatsink.
