A local PC shop had a few aluminum chipset heatsink's in a parts. $2 solution works for me until the SB block is avail again.. Thanks for the help.

Just received my modded block on Sat. Drained and replumbed the GPU/MB loop to add the new block. Temps are now in range with the rest of the board so I'm pleased with it. I'm mildly disappointed in the block I received was simply redrilled and taped next to the original hole instead of a new base. The tread btwn the two holes is very very thin. As I'll probably never take the block off much (Except for cleaning), it should be ok. I have pics I'll have to DL from the camera tonight.
