I have two 134CFM 3000RPM fans running at full speed
I don't think I could handle that...
What fans are they?

are they the Ultra Kaze's?
You guys are going ape again with the fans. Remember what you pull in has to go out. The best setup has a slightly higher CFM exhaust fan. The reason for this is to create a slight negative air pressure in the case. This helps to draw more air in and the intake fans draw less current to move it.
Balance is everything.
Huh, I noticed some of the big monster CPU heat sinks are horizontal some are vertical. Is there an advantage one way or the other.
Wow, this is the first time that I've quoted myself!
Anyway, I have been wondering if the heat pipe will work better with the heat sink above the cpu. So that the liquid inside the heat pipe will evaporate with the cpu at the bottom and condense better with the cooling fins above the cpu.
In any case, I loaded the cpu down with lots of work for about 15 minutes with the case upright in its normal position. Then, I laid the case on its side with the motherboard side down to see if the dark knight heat sink heat pipe would work any better or worse due to orientation. Well, after trying this twice in each position, I've come to the conclusion that it really doesn't make any difference.
