As promised - Here's the testing I did with the Frio OCK CPU cooler.
Took a few pics of the setup and what it looks like with everything in place.
One of the pics shows the clearance you'd have if used with the board I have (Crosshair V) and what RAM I had to run for clearance. Obviously you cannot run any sticks with an extended heatspreader but as I said before regular sticks work with it. I did note though the stick towards the cooler was a little warmer than the other stick, mainly due to it being close to the heatpipes and the obvious lack of airflow vs the outer stick but that's to be expected in this case.

OK - I setup the machine to do these test runs using the same exact settings for all runs with the exception of the number of cores that were active to similate what a given numbered cored chip may do with it, be it an unlocked chip or not.
Of course chips with less cores used/active will tend to run cooler and my testing reflected this as expected. The conditions of these runs and other relevant info are within the testing setup pic and these runs were literally done back-to-back, the only pause being the time it took to enable cores by rebooting to do so in the BIOS as the testing progressed. I used the settings I had to emulate what you'd normally expect how an individual would setup the system with proper voltages used for the CPU and as most tend to do via multiplier. I used the 20X multi to place all of the OC'ing load on the CPU itself to give the cooler a chance to show what it's really capable of.
Note the detail for each run in the screenies. I allowed HWmonitor to run for getting the max themal values during each run and you can see this with each screenie that shows the end of a run. The other is to show the setup & temps seen for each run right before it was started.
The testing setup screenie is the very last pic and it shows the relevant info you'd want to see.

I'll let you guys be the judge based on the info within the screenies from each run.
