Yes. The positioning can be a little funky. I wire-tied a 40mm Evercool on the CPU side of the NB, I see about a 3C drop to 45C (ambient is 28). You might consider doing it for the PWM too (42C with the fan, all measured with Smartguardian FWIW)

Short of pulling the heat pipes off has anyone had any luck or have any advice on securing something a little more substantial (such as an MCX159 CU or an HR-05) on top of the NB heat sink short of thermal adhesiving something on top permanently? I get nervous strapping something so top heavy and conductive so close to the video card
