Most large CPU heatsinks don't ever get very warm. The more surface area, the less heat there will be throughout the parts of the heatsink.

You don't need that much pressure when lapping.

Wear a small glove.
Put paper towel around the tower and elastic around it to keep it on.

No harm done now

My SI-128 SE is no small customer, and it gets warm. Warm is fine - but if it's actually cold, I think you'll agree that's a bad thing.

well, a week later, temps no higher than 52 with 100% load for an hour or more, guess the little bit of lapping has helped! now to get to 3.2 or so...

It seems I might be getting one sooner than I thought I should be ordering it along with two more 88CFM YLs on the 5th or 6th.

Noctua are pricy but you get seriously high quality items for the price.

Which is exactly why I'm waiting for them to make a GPU cooler

Oooh a Noctua GPU cooler.

I'll spend the extra 10-15 bucks if I'm going to get a product of amazing quality, as I did with the NH-U12P.

So how hard is it to have a push-pull setup on it? Does it come with the hardware to do so or will I need to work something out for it?
