I was thinking about this earlier, i used the swiftech NB-MAX block on my RIIE and even after several mounts of both the swifty block and the stock heat pipe assembly i couldnt get a decent drop in overall temps.
I would be concerned something similar would occur with this too.

Have you considered using another set of blocks to replace the gigabyte heat pipe altogether?
