I just made a bunch of small changes on my setup, I lapped my cpu and heatsink, got a new case with a 200mm top exhaust, changed the heatsink orientation to point up, took the stock thermalright fan off and replaced it with a scythe gentletyphoon, and got a bolt-on kit for my Cogage TRUE spirit, and the sum of all these made my temps sooo much better, I'd be interested in knowing how a lapped NH-D14 does.

I still haven't lapped my true or IHS <_<

Depending on the case you're using for your HTPC, you might want to give the Noctua NH-U9B Special Edition CPU Cooler a look.

I have the regular Noctua NH-U9B in a poorly ventilated case and I've never seen my mildly OC'ed 3.6Ghz E8400 above 60 Celsius. It idles at around 40. With a proper case with good ventilation, I'm sure it'll do much better.
