The HS is held on with 2 pushpins. Once lapped just apply a thin layer of a good thermal paste like AS Ceramique then reattach the HS using the pushpins.

Yikes.. you will think your current puter is steam powered by the time you sit down to your new custom built puter 
A quick question: I find that the SB on my motherboard (yes, everything arrived and I have it hooked up, besides a Asus Radeon 4850 that artifacts and will be RMA'd tomorrow) doesn't get even a little warm. I disabled the superspeed option in the bios so I'd have 2 more normal sata ports, since I have no interest in running a raid setup. Could it be that there's no heat because I'm not using raid? From what I understand, that seems to be the purpose of the SB chip.
Edit: After looking at it just now, it probably also helps that the graphics card's fan is right over the SB.

Mine gets slightly warm after hours of gaming but I do know it handles raid but idk what else it does.
