Also, the thermal pads they supplied are insufficient (the amount provided).
You see, the part you have to screw to the main block is the part that cools those Chips, and they supply thermal pad to apply between that and the chips, and that part doesn't really touch the small ones so I had to cut the thermal pad in 2 or 3 pieces and stack them on top of each other to make sure theres contact.
Yes I found the same thing. Used a bit of (lapped) copper sheet 18SWG (0.048") fixed on the VRM with thin thermal pad and MX2 on the top of the copper which makes very good contact with the aluminium block.
Here are the results with q6600@3.4Gz + 2 x 4870s in Xfire+ NB block+ mosfet block all on the same loop with a TFC 480. Running OCCT and rthdirbl
