2 MCW 60 on a 3870X2?

Dremell it!
later you can sell it with the blocks installed.

Interesting Update:

I went to dremel:
The material is aluminum alright and luckily the part right around the block placement area is half as thick as the rest of the heatsink *yay*. However the block gets about a cm into the thick part, but the block should easily fit. Will need to remove a little over half of the red side pins so the tubing get through.

Now the interesting part. Since I couldn't complete the dremeling that day I went to try a better method of cooling the VRMs, so I just took the large heatsinks that were cut and redistributed them around to all of the VRMs and just slapped on entire, new heatsinks onto all of the pusle chips. So now the VRMs have more cooling - however ramsinks are apparently insufficient for cooling the VRMs, these things are beastly. Fitting the maximum amount of copper (plus pins) into the available space above the VRMs did not prove to cool the chips enough. The previous temperature I gave in comparison was drawn from ATI Tool - which only really stresses one core atm. In gameplay however pulls those temperatures sky high I mean near 100C and over on both. (and before anyone asks if they were mounted correctly, yes they were. XD. They didnt move during tiping and didnt fall off when upside down - and they were scorching under game load. They burnt skin off my friends finger when he went to lightly touch 'em XD )

Either give those VRM heatsinks active cooling (even then I'm unsure, having used a case sized fan to do so - but I don't remember what those temps were) or slap that stock heatsink back on and dremel it.

I should have time to dremel the stock heatsink completely on Thursday, so check back late that night (est. 11PM EST - latest).
