I have an Abit 9600XT that looks like this:

Notice how it has that funny eliptical shaped thing on top of the
Heatsink fan.
Does this look like a gimmick that could actually impede the effciency
of the heatsink/fan working to cool the GPU?
The idle temp was around 43 degrees cel. and under load 65, I have taken
this down to 37/60 with a 120mm exhaust fan.
But I am wondering if I could cool it more if I unscrewed the eliptical
thing from the heatsink??
Any ideas on this type of design?
