You using v1 or v2 Al?

V1 had a huge rectangular block in the center that added a shitload of back pressure. V2 reduced the size of the obstruction and let it flow better. The new one is supposed to be the XT by 2 or 3 degrees C without the constant back pressure.

Nice. I like using a wire brush. Brass brushes around the size of a tooth brush work great. Scoring the inside of the heat sink makes little scratches increasing surface area no matter how small the scratches are. I've never seen a big temp drop from it, but in theory, it should help.
