basically intel got cheap on the 1 place they shouldn't have. that tard move pretty much negated the benefits you gained from a die shrink....
they used TIM instead of solder to put the IHS on the chip
they saved $0.05 on a $200 chip... and now sandybridge runs cooler then ivybridge...

they saved $0.05 on a $200 chip... and now sandybridge runs cooler then ivybridge...does this mean removing the IHS is once again viable/possible?
edit: never mind, just read through it and that's all they're talking about lol

(might be easier if you move the GT to the pull side of the rad instead of the push side where the HDMI cable connects) may need to get one of these
it will DEFINITELY help with your current heat situation. the only issue i can see right now would be long term dust problem on the top half of the rad (the side facing the HDMI cable). but i think you can resolve it with a removable dust filter if there is enough room.
