Week 29 6600. Different Heat Spreader

[The Asgard]

Hi,
I have a Week 29 L629A531 6600 and I noticed that the normal rounded heatspreader has been replaced with a 90 degree angled heat spreader. All the edges are sharp and these new chips actually look flat unlike the soft wounded spreader which were slightly concave. I know I read an article on XS about these but I just assumed they were some specials.

Will let you know later on how they perform. If anyones interested that is, lol.

I've seen a few of these posted since Week 26 I believe. Think my 6300 (Week 23) is like this aswell, may check the photos when I get back
