Yeah after the thermal settled a little bit it got a bit hotter, are tighter screws on the heatsink going to cool it down or heat it up?? I never know when to stop torquing my heatsink screws??

Most new HSF's are designed to just bottom out on the mounting mechanism, preventing you from over-tightening. I tighten all of mine until they stop. I'm not sure if the Coolit Domino is that way though. Tighter should never equal hotter.
