Yea exactly, and even if its smooth how much of a differnce will it make, 1C at most? X86, Well my temps have come down by like 8-9 C from the stock hsf. Earlier it would go to 48 on full load, now stays around 40. I would say its worth it but in the end it depends on you.
New stuff :D

Probably a calibration error with your Smartguardian temps 
Theoretically, your Opty at those speeds/volts has a TDP of ~ 150W. If you're telling me, your temps are 44C with NO air conditioning and ambient temps of 35C, that would give your Big Typhoon a degC/W rating of 0.06 - which needless to say is impossible. The best air coolers top out at around 0.11 degC/W.
The only possibility is,
- your smart guardian temps are mis-reported or
- your ambient temps are lower
No doubt the TT-BT is a great cooler, but what you're claiming is a bit far-fetched.
P.s: The 0406 BIOS has options for CPU temp calibration, I hope you've not calibrated it the wrong way

^^ Yes, Smart Guardian can be misreporting, very possible, but till I get a screenshot have a look at temps here while running SP1M 
I've just flashed to 0406 and haven't had the time to play with it yet, so all my previous stuff was on 704-2BTA
Will post a SS of Prime at 1.65v as soon as I get enough time...

@Josh: Notice the area marked in red:
Thats the Max Combined Wattage allowed on the 12v rail. Individually, you can load up 12v1 and 12v2 rails upto 20A (or 12V x 20A = 240W individually). But together, you can load up to a max of 348W (348 Watts/12 Volts = 29Amps)
@Freaky: :O No dude not showing off, and what knowledge?! If only I knew something worthwhile!
Google, the TDP formula can be easily found!
If you're still interested :
Overclocked TDP = Default TDP x (Overclocked ClockSpeed / Stock ClockSpeed) * (Overclocked Vcore / Stock Vcore)²
The default TDP values for all AMD procs can easily be got from their specs at - http://www.amdcompare.com
As for calculating degC/W values thats quite easy, the formula is :
degC/W = (CPU Temp - Ambient Temp) / CPU TDP
As for the best values of 0.11degC/W, I referred overclockers.com where they have most of the heatsinks lined up according to ascending degC/W since that provides a uniform method of comparing heatsinks. Found most of the top guns like the Scythe Ninja around that mark.
