Hay, Welcome to TPU. Glad it offered you a significant improvement ;)

Great drop in load temperatures you got there, especially from something that cost virtually nothing :)

Thanks,

yeah that's pretty amazing, considering i had bought this big OCZ multi heatpipe cooler in hopes of solving my heat issues and it made virtually no difference. This would not have been necessary if i had just did this mod. However, the lengths of the vindicator's brackets are easily adjustable to compensate for the reduced height of the naked die.

I love free mods! Now if only i had the patience to learn how to overclock it right...
