anyone have any ideas?
depending on how tight/hard it was to put the first penny in (i mean once it was in how hard was it to tighten the bracket down) then add another one maybe. otherwise lap it.

it was pretty hard... i didnt get the screws in all the way, they wouldve stripped. I dont want to lap my CPU as i dont want to damage warranty.
leave the 1 penny then. i meant lap the heatsink, not cpu, though lapping both should drop temps 5C or so.

Actually here is a list of coins:
5c 10c 20c 50c $1 $2
Oh and the random 20c new zealand coin nobody wants.
hmm, im not sure if i really want to Lap it, can you use sandpaper from anywhere or just the kits?
this mod is being a huge let down. i did it also for cooling, which is now worse than before. i have more fans than before... all with higher CFM, yet hotter temps on everything. My GFX card is now reaching 80 C on STALKER shadow of chernobyl and it used to only reach about 72 on Crysis. i dont know what to do guys...
You have to be careful with fans around the CPU. In my Karma mod, I found that the 2 fans closest to the cpu needed to be reversed to help draw heat away from the heatsink.
Consider all the fans in your case working together to move air from front to back, bringing in cool air, and pushing heat out the back and top.
What case are you using?

OK, I just checked out your case and your build.
The fan behind the CPU should be pulling air out the back, the fan above it should be pulling air out the top. The CPU fan should be pushing air through the heatsink towards the back of the case, and the fan on the side beside the videocard should also be pulling air OUT, not in.
Check orientation of these fans, and see if that helps your temps at all.
Also, your PSU fan should be blowing out the rear too. Any fans on the front of the case should be blowing air INTO the case. Also, since your case is on the floor, consider filtering any intakes on the case to prevent dust buildup inside the case.
I'll take another look at your build, and see if there's anything else you could do.
