KE: I'll bring the Thermalright over after work sometime tomorrow. I didn't get a chance to pull it out of the test system and don't feel like messing with it at the moment. I think I'll test the Alpha PAL8045 instead of the Aeroflow next; though I am a bit concerned about how to properly test the Alpha. Pulling air through the heatsink makes it almost imposssible to get intake air temps, but blowing onto heatsink supposedly worsens performance.
Results for the interested:
