The HK is now the second best block for cooling CPUs, first place now goes to Swiftech Apogee XT.
If you would like to see what Vapor had to say about it then here is a link http://vapor.skinneelabs.com/i7/Round2/XT/R2i7XT.html
Or if you would like to compare the HK to the XT then here is another link http://vapor.skinneelabs.com/i7/Roun...i7Overall.html

I still love the looks of the HK but the performance factor of the XT does have a slight pulling me, just a tad.
Ive red the tests. You made it sound like the block was mediocre, when in fact i would put it side by side with the XT. The sub 1C difference is worth it in my eyes when you consider that the HK is much less restrictive than the XT. You can do the silicone mod on the HK and it would be in front of the XT while still beeing less restrictive. They both have theire pro's and con's, but dont make it loook like the HK is wastly inferior to the XT when in fact its not.
