Zardnok and orion23,
Thanks for the replies. By the sound of it the new NB heat pipe is actually working pretty well.
Somehow I think my plain vanilla board will not cool as well as the deluxe but I'll see if I can find a fan to squeeze in there somehow.
In theory with the heat pipe I could put a fan not on the NB but on the upper piece its connected to, the one by the exhaust vent, and it would work even better by blowing the hot air out of the case. My board comes in tomorrow, and can't wait to try it out.
