I'd expect 10 degrees off the stock temp, at the most.

I bought ten like those pictured a couple of moths back. They were aluminum and copper plated. I would email and find out whether they are pure copper or not.

The stock hsf that came with my barton was aluminum on the outside and copper inside. I lapped and lost 10c. It runs my 1700 around 42c idle, 48 load.

Thats seems like a good deal for something would up your performance. So I would find out if they are solid copper and then take it from there.

Thank You,
