FYI for anyone that's going to try, the Thermalright HR-05 SLI/IFX when used on the SB (Southbridge) on this board will not allow you to install a double wide graphics card. I installed the HR-05 SLI/IFX and realized the screw that goes through from the bottom of the board sticks up tall enough to hit the underside of a graphics card, such as a GTX 280/4870 X2.
...and...
Any suggestions for a SB heatsink? I'm looking at the Enzotech CNB-S1L (fanless), but the spacings on the push-pins don't go straight into the board. What I'm thinking of doing is filing off the "arms" on the CNB-S1L and using 3M 8815 thermal tape to secure the copper heatsink to the SB chip.

This tape is the same thermal tape used on Enzotech's BMR-C1 copper MOSFET heatsinks. Performance PC's sells a 2"x2" square of this tape for $2.95. Anyone think this will work, or have any alternative ideas?
Thanks.
