There is a TRUE washer mod that some people have used to try to increase the tightness of the TRUE mount, From what I have read it has had some mixed results. To be honest though the people at Thermalright said said the play in the mounting system was normal, and I saw very decent temps on my core 2 duo overlocked to 3.6.

I saw this in the Mega club owner thread

I believe they do have a new design but i don't see any reviews on it yet .. the one they called the "Venomous X" now known as the TRUE-120 rev.c..

--------
I just order it and i was wondering hows the TRUE-120 Rev.C ( with a "V" shaped hole at the bottom) compared to the old (TRUE-120 )and the the megatron?!

qood question..on ocn i have seen only rev a/b tests, mabye rev c is better than megahalems?

What about fan?
For a fan i have PAPST 1600Rpm (120x120x25) but i was wonderiing will temps be better with Scythe S-Flex SFF21G 120mm, 1900Rpm
i know that temps will be better but will i get decent temp drop(3-5c) or will i only get 1-2c better temps?

No way. Keep the Papst for use on the heatsink. Papsts are excellent server-grade fans, up there with Sanyo Denki, Delta, Sunon, and Comair Rotron.

Fan suggestions are in my sticky guide (1st link in sig)...in regards to your looking for results for Mega vs TRUE, Grunion did a nice review on it HERE.

Might as well be looking for server-grade fans, a fan controller, and a better TIM for lower temps on my i7 920 C0. Just don't like the noise emitting from my case (probably due to no anti-vibration strips on the heatsink).
