    the copper plated thingy on the back is a small square cut out of something i pulled off the back of a gigabyte motherboard (it was under the CPU socket) - insulated from the back of the gfx card with foam soaked in silicon based TIM material. the metal v was part of a s939 stock heatsink. and a bit of very taut builder's twine with a dab of superglue to stop it slipping around holds it together

    if you do something similar remember to scrape the bottom of the screws with a file or some rough sandpaper. the glue holds much better. if you use the glue on a shiny metal surface that has a layer of oil from your finger on it some of the screws will fall right off if what they're attached to gets jolted
    (and i'd guess the thermal interface can't be so great either)
    Omg, those memory and PWM heatsinks...
