From pic 11 onwards he shows a little guide on how to mod it once you get it off.
In the pic with the little copper sink the two black pin housings on either side it where it comes out, even pressure will ease it out you dont need much effort at all.
The thread doesnt show it fitted without the ROG sink whilst still mounted on the board, so i know what you mean, but it unscrews easily and comes off with the stock heat pipe assembly.
As to how it effects performance, well thats a good question, idk yet as everything is on hold a few more days until i get my extra blocks.
I plan to take off the black sink i have on it now and fit a nice big enzotech cooper job on there with the acrylic backplate solution in the previous link.
I just need my 'fet blocks to arrive pronto and i can get back at it.
