My board seems to have a much better heatsink (but is probably overcooled at the moment: the push-pull fans are very noisy and were designed to move air around a pair of 300W PCIe cards). At rest it is at about 50-55°C, and after several hour at full CPU load it didn't go over 72°C. Moving a lot of data around with CUDA to a GTX460 didn't seem to push the temperature higher than that, either. Anyway as mentioned in another message - I think your current solution is fine. I just wanted the potential caveat to be out there so it can be googled by interested third-parties.
