My improvised thermal bridge - a few folds of aluminium foil wedged between the fins of the small heatsink. The foil doesn't grip very well, so it's held in place with clear tape, but if I go ahead with this then a bit of thermal paste should do the job: [image: http://www.cjh.me.uk/MyPhotobucket/cache/DIYHifi/RPi%20Board/Aluminium%20foil%201_640.jpg]
Not yet bridged to the chassis heatsink, just flapping around in free air: [image: http://www.cjh.me.uk/MyPhotobucket/cache/DIYHifi/RPi%20Board/Aluminium%20foil%202_640.jpg] Surprisingly it's knocked another 4-5 degrees off. Here's a plot of temperature from a 4 minute 'oggenc'. Previously this took the temperature into the low 70s. Here it seems to have levelled off at 63 degrees before the oggenc process finished and it started to cool down again immediately.
