Thanks! I thought it would be easier to explain with pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the process when I did it. Mine measured just under 3mm (like 2.97 IIRC) - maybe the pads weren't as compressed on mine. Dunno. But 1/8" works well.

I didn't touch the middle FETs since I didn't even have any idea how I was going to couple that heatspreader to the case. I figure the better cooling on the other side would help leach the heat away from the whole board improving cooling all around.

For your water jacket, just wrap some copper tubing around the fins. :)
