God, I love this heatsink!

No, 70+. Even bigger drop.
If 18F is -7C though, there's still some concerns to be worked out... if my calculations are correct, that's a whole 37°C difference between air temp and CPU temp. Most people get around 20. I'm thinking, either I still didn't get the sink seated right, or the air is getting heated up along the way (part of it is sitting on top of my monitor).

You wanna try something?
Turn your computer off for a couple hours, Then reseat your heatsink. Turn it back on and start a burn program, see what your temps get. If its like mine, they'll be great for awhile, but after an hour or two, they'll start to rise, I attribute it to the weight of the heatsink, and the grease.
