I've already ordered the CNB-S1L, but thanks anyway. When I get it I'm going to try and file off the "arms" and make the heatsink a perfect square, then apply the 3M 8815 thermal tape on the back and stick it to the SB.

Certainly a lot of copper on this board now...
Happy New Year to you too .... thought you had an extended Christmas hols

Guess they must have removed the hooks for cost saving !, the thermal tape should work well but as the SB chip is smaller than the CNS-S1L it might be worth leaving the legs on at first to test the tape or future use on another board. Your build is looking good
