Hello Victor: I have found that disassembling and greasing the bottom side metal sheet _one the plastic side_ makes a big difference in heat dissipation. One of the major problems with the stock heat sink cover is that the heat sink is attached with foam to the EMF cover (goes over the CPU, memory, etc., that's what I am calling it for now) and I have tested the heat transfer abilities of the foam and its abilities are very small, so, if you just make sure your machined heat sink is not _too_ thick, you'll be in good shape. Just make sure you use a good grease to transfer heat to the EMF cover. Sincerely yours, Grizzlygiant -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
