I just thought I'd say that if you plan on using heatsinks, glue them down with super glue.....use some kind of heatsink paste, too.....
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

they are just aluminum blocks with maybe six holes drilled in them, they aren't finned or anything. not to mention the 1/8" thick layer of transfer glue on them (whoops, i did :oops: )

yes, those aluminum blocks alone will do almost no good, thats what i was getting to. thats why they put that huge one attached to them to better cool without adding a fan. I use some small cut up heatsinks with like 3/4 in fins and a heatsink from the gpu in the xbox. all glued with a little of tcim aswell. Josh.
