When I looked at the base of my new hyper 212+ I see the groove between the copper heatpipe and the aluminum block and wonder if grinding off a mm or two wouldnt help.
Regardless, temps are not bad. When I game the temp rarely hit even 50C unless its a hot day and I havent run the air in a while. However, when I try for high OC it just cannot handle it as temps quickly push over and 80C and approach 90C at even a mered 1.5Vcore at 5GHz.

Boy that info was old. As am I. Currently my kids have taken over my desktops. They are both sporting matching GTX1080's. Last Christmas I got everyone Oculuses and thus GTX1080's. My eldest is some sort of CSGO champion gold label something or other. Me I work and shoot real guns. Build Comps as needed.
IMHO lapping is always worth it
especially with the tad cheaper coolers....
It is an HDT sink, so go really slow, so u dont puncture an heatpipe.
