Thanks Cartwheels, i removed it without the motor wires. Wow, that thermal pad is one sticky mother! Only 1/3 of the pad was actually touching the case, talk about useful/less.

I just ordered some Arctic Silver adhesive last night, so it should be here thursday or friday. Just imagine if i attached the PCB directly to the heatsink :018:

Also, i think heat will bleed through the PCB and trhought the bottom FET's and then the heatsink, as the traces and PCB are quite thermally conductive after all. The water cooled units only have tubes on the side of the PCB's, and they seem to work very well...

Here is a pic. Do you guys have that pink strip in each 'phase line'?
