You misunderstand. I need to glue down the copper shim stock. The aluminum block was going to use a thermal pad and 2.5mm sprung heatsink screws through the bottom of the board. I have a 1.5mm thermal pad under the little heatsink I have right now. But it's .75mm difference in height between the fets and those little caps. Pretty big damn step as far as trying to get a heatsink to apply good pressure.

Reversing the airflow does give me an idea. On the 7810 I'm going to run a 2nd CPU heatsink on both chips. The first one is stepped to allow for the optical disc drive which is going away. Anyways the 2nd CPU always runs hot because the first sink pushes right into it. If I reversed the 2nd CPU sink so they push into themselves I could duct that straight out the panel cover so they would both be pulling ambient and would exhaust out of the case.
We're both on the same page for expansion then. The BTX stuff was designed for Netburst CPUs to run at up to 4GHz stock speeds. They got as far 3.73 on some P4 Xeons before C2D made Netburst instantly obsolete, and BTX irrelevant for most users.t.

There will be a way to disable it. Trust in that.

There are some discussions about overclocking scalable CPUs here. Mostly ES Qxxx stuff.
They do mention a W-3175X unlocked 28 core Xeon.
Moron this.

The serve the home link was you reporting on me overclocking my Dell lol.
And the 3175x requires a small power plant and battery cables to begin overclocking

There are some newer posts further down the page with some new info. #125 and beyond.
I suppose I could have copied the posts, but I just linked the whole page.

Ya I looked at that too. I'm interested in finding a 12core v4 I could hopefully overclock
