Good use of available space. I like the idea.

Clean setup.
 
 
Is that gap by choice or the limitation of the arms of the stand.

by choice. if i put them side by side without a gap, the monitors are just too close to my face. i just prefer it furthest away from me. also i double the stand in the middle to sometimes hold my leather bracelets lol

Nice looking setup. Are the speaker stands sturdy enough to prevent unwanted vibrations?

Upgraded fans (probably the best 140mm fans for air-cooling period):
 

 
 
Cable management still sucks (curse of the Sugo):
 

4.4GHz/1.27v 2700K "upgraded" to 4.3GHz/1.2v 3770K.

What temps do you get under load?

My desk is in the living room area currently. New furniture is coming into the living room this month and immense renovations to it will take place soon after. Thus, this will be the last of this setup as it stands today and the desk itself will also be replaced. Apologies for quality of photo.

Temps on 3770K are almost irrelevent as a comparison due to the shoddy TIM Intel used between the die and IHS.  Two chips on the same cooling might be 30C different under load.
 
 
Easy enough to cut the IHS off with a razor though

Indeed. After all, it's not like Intel has any need to use substandard TIMs. I'm still quite satisfied with Sandy Bridge performance, so I'm going to hold off upgrading at least a couple of generations, unless Haswell is mindblowing, something that's likely not going to happen due to artificial performance limits, similar to what happened on Ivy Bridge due to the lack of competition from AMD after the whole Bulldozer debocle.

In any case, I always feel a certain discomfort when seeing high performance parts on such small form factor cases, it's unnatural!

surprisingly they are. i also put a thin strip of foam on them to help reduce any vibrations
