There have been plenty of tests done to support my statement and you are more than welcome to Google them! Skinnee, Hesmelaugh, Martin, Hondacity and others have all confirmed this.

If you choose to believe the tests performed by Gabe then....Can I interest you in a bridge I have for sale?

Heres the i7 block release news guys
Swiftech Announces Apogee GTZ Ci7 CPU Water Block
Water-cooling specialist Swiftech expanded its lineup with the Apogee GTZ Ci7 CPU water block. From its name, one can infer that it specifically supports the Intel LGA-1366 socket (Core i7 and Xeon 5500 series). The frame that holds the block has the appropriate mount holes for LGA-1366. A bolt-through retention mechanism is bundled. The block itself is near-identical in specifications to the original Apogee GTZ. The CPU copper contact base is lapped, and has a matrix of 225 micron copper pins to boost surface area of heat dissipation. The housing is Delrin-made. Options for 1/2" and 3/8" hose barbs are provided. A tube of Arctic Silver Ceramique is bundled. It is priced at US $69.99.

ditch the screws, backplate and springs and rig up some better ones if you plan on lapping your i7's. There is only so much thread on the factory thumb screws so when you shave almost a mm off on the IHS it doesn't allow for full contact.

just a friendly FYI :)

Being as you already own this block Supes you could also just buy the appropriate adapter + backing plate kit.

Thx Frank, I'm pretty sure the block I have will remain in the LGA775 rig for a good while.

I have the adapter/kit for going I7 and if you want soups drop me a line, cause my I7 plans got fubarred

I have to cut the back plate to avoid some electrical components on the backside of my classified. It works ok still, I like the looks of the heatkiller also.
