    That looks like an old Thermalright NB1-C nb sink. I know because I still have one from back in the stone age, in it's original box, buried in a closet somewhere. It was slightly better than the stock sink with the included 40mm Delta fan screaming away, putting out all of about 4cfm, on my ancient Asus/ P4 setup
    Is that the stock Asus nb sink you have it attached to, or is it a real copper plate? Regardless, I don't think it will be very effective unless the NB1-C makes direct contact with the chip. You would really get better results using a proper aftermarket sink such as those from Enzotech or Thermalright.

    The P6T-Deluxe is an excellent motherboard, and it deserves some proper cooling. I recently did a build with a P6T-Deluxe V2 and the fellow I built it for is now wanting to get some better aftermarket heatsinks for his board.

    By all means, apply some good quality thermal compound to the stock heatpipe assembly sinks. However, if you choose to go the aftermarket heatsink route, it could be removed entirely for storage with the NB1-C
