Overclockers New Zealand Forum member Deviant has completed a TAK68 cooler mod by inserting a copper core to the all aluminium heatsink.

Ok, so after a few hours of testing here are the results:

V9 on Low (1569 rpm) 52 - low noise
V9 at medium (3629 rpm) 43 - moderate noise, and my preference
V9 at medium-high (4017 rpm) 42 - noisy but tolerable
V9 on high (5443 rpm) 39 - Delta noisy scream

Modified TAK68 (4753 rpm) 40 - quiet, about the same as the V9 on low, maybe slightly louder.

Well the results speak for themselves, absouletly awesome. It's now a top cooler in my books for performance while being quiet at the same time.
