i can confirm that my idea works with an mcw30, but i dont get my ram till tomorrow or thursday so i can post temps then

step 1 remove heatsink assembly
step 2 remove the 4 screws on the NB section connecting the heatpipe base plate on the NB to the pot
step 3 put back on the HP assembly, but without the SB screws (the 2 that go into the pot from the MB, and the 4 that hold the plate to the pot)
step 4 ???????
step 5 use long screws to attach the universal chipset cooler to the HP base plate, AKA profit

here is a dissassembly guide from Wotcher, if its ok with him i will add instructions to his pics
