Will we ever get improved/adjustable fan behavior?

When your RMAd the cooler, did you check the thermal paste/pads on CPU to the heatsinks? I bet any new repasting may help; the PTM7950 mentioned above seems more useful as it should last much longer than thermal paste while still performing good heat transfer.
