Good little project you have ahead of you, good work for saving the poor thing ;p Regarding the fmic, Quite a lot of bent fins but spend some time straightening out the fins and i'd say it'll still give sufficient cooling, probably better than the standard tmic as there pish, plus fmic's look sick =] (Aslong as the cooler core itself isnt leaking) Edit : Cooler kit looks autobahn to me =] identical to mine. Good work pal
