My 40mm x 40mm x 11mm heatsink arrived today. It just about fits without having to be trimmed around the camera connector. I used a thermal pad to fix it to the CPU.

I ran approx 20 minutes of oggenc jobs, and simultaneously did a library 'clear and rescan'. The temperature got up to the low 70s, and then cooled back down to ~63 degrees. The 'background' temperature inside my amplifier seems to be the dominant factor. I think this is simpler than trying to connect the CPU to my amplifier chassis.
