To everyone who has received one of the DSMs, it is very important that you open up your case and remove that CLEAR plastic sheet which sits on top of your CPU heat sink, but leave the blue/gray sheet that sits below it.
That blue/gray sheet will eventually fuse the outer case to the CPU heat sink, in effect transforming the outer case into an extension of the heat sink. If you leave the clear plastic sheet over it heat transfer will be hindered.
I have left the clear plastic sheet on the heat sinks because I figure anybody who has ordered a DSM is going to want to open his case up and see what is happening inside (I mean, that's the first thing I did!). After you are done exploring, be sure to take yours off, the case plays a critical role in keeping these things cool without a case fan.
Note: you all should also have a flier that came with your box that explains this.
