This build runs r-tarded fast and cool. Wondering about my video vrm sink mod affecting overall longjevity of this build, &

Add-on:
corsair H60 Hydro CPU Cooler (venting out back. Prime95 2hr 47c stock speeds).
No problem with stock cooler, Liquid sounded cool-er.
Orignial Cooler got card to 30c idle - 54+c load avrage. 56c+ in 5min of bf3.
Removed plastic plenum + added artic silver to HS & reatached fan with zip tie to get max @ 56c after 1 hr of gameplay.
Have issue with icy vision mounting plate and vrm sinks!!!
copper heat pipe block dosenot cover all of fermi gpu (1/32" short all around)
vrm cooler included did not cover all chips & was PUNY! This area get's hot!
Mod: Bad idea? I cut down the orignial galaxy vrm sink 1/2" to fit cooler, no obvious proforamance issues, just a hot spot!
