Hi Without seeing his heat sink, there's no way to know how big he intended to make it. If it was the size of the rest of the box (X, Y and Z) then it's a fine solution that will work well. It'll also cost more than all of the rest of the box. If it's a 1/2" thick heat sink that almost matches the footprint of the Rb (and is nice and cheap) then he missed the point.
