You might want to at least put some of the metal shielding on, those metal blocks don't disappate much heat.

Might not be enough, though. I think heatsinks would be better than the blocks.

Get as flat as possible to save space, and I thing you'll need thermal paste or adhesive to hold them on the chips. I was going to do that, but I think I'll stick with the monster stock sink to save money.
