I think its in the air (pun intended!). People want it to thrash the competition. Whether they have direct experience with it or not, they want it to succeed.

Megahalems, no competition the TRUE's reign is over, the pople voting for the TRUE are just people who dont have the money to get the MEGA or dont know how to read a graphs that show a cooler temp on a MEGA

My vote goes for the Xiggy because "best" in my book means price/performance. Scythe's mugen 2 would come in a close second. This is coming from a noctua owner, heh.

I thought that the Mega loses to the TRUE when pressure modded and lapped?

i'd really like to try this new beast out since its getting such rave reviews from OCNers. but my lapped TRUE w/ pressure mod + washer mod are telling me otherwise. still, my Q9650 still runs pretty hot; i had to scale back my OC due to summertime.

question to those who have the megahalem, does it require lapping like the TRUE does for best performance?
