Sheatsinking a GC?

Good or bad idea?

Bad. GC gets pretty hot.

You can trim the GC's original heatsink using ashen's technique to the height of the onboard caps, then some space inside it for a fan. IMO this is the best heatsink technique for the GC, Tchay and Zenloc have lots of experience with this, they might have some slightly better alternatives, but I dunno. If you can have fins, get fins. You will always need a fan though, according to Tchay(I think?)

Okay, sounds good. For some reason, it sounds like trying to grind down that heatsink would be loud, hot, and a pain. Anyways, we'll see.

That's why you use earplugs, a vice, and patience. XD
