what ace is trying to say is that the IFX14's base is FLAT
i agreed with him too. it is much flatter than my ultima which actually suprises me
the thing is, the C2D IHS isnt exactly flat, so thats why some manufacturers purposely make sure its not totally flat
thats was what i was told some time back
