Pipes can get bent or because of really bad abuse, the working fluid can leak out from the pipes making it close to useless.

Almost all heatpipe using heatsink use some sort of fluid, even thermalright does,  . I know a couple of people who have broken those pipes but both of the times they were damaged while shipping, :(

Lowered the multi and voltage. Running ever so slightly slower, teh temps are a little lower and the vcore can't be a bad thing... can it?

For a c stepping that is really low voltage.
You case have side panel fans? Funny I got the report on my review from ASUS and a sussequent thread started on ROG forums that claimed their IOH ran so cool compared to other setups like the classified.
My usage was exactly the opposite. Classified ran way cooler. But I had a DO... and we know how much power the chipset supplies to the CPU... so.. maybe D0 is less and keeps chipset cooler?

For a C stepper that is insanely low voltage, but the chip is brand new back from RMA of a dead one. 4.2 is all I need this machine to push so why get it any hotter
