Custom Heatsink for MDD FW800?

[ifrit05]

Anyone know of any good custom heatsink mods for a Dual MDD? JapaMac page states LGA 775/1156/1366 have proper mounting space for PPC cards but I was wondering if anyone has tried this. I can get some pretty decent donor 1366 heatsinks from server systems.

The duals are tricky because most computer heatsinks are made to fit a single CPU. So you need to find one with a wide enough base to contact both or else two smaller heatsinks. This is part of why water cooling is a good option, because two GPU water blocks (usually smaller than CPU water blocks) could be used. I don't think there was any aftermarket kit made, but if you search there have been a variety of custom/DIY setups posted over the years. I think aquamac is still archived, and I saw this not long ago:

MDD heatsink upgrade

Does anyone know of a good heatsink upgrade for the MDD? This is the last one I did: Its base is wide enough for both CPUs and it runs quiet and cool with the large area and heatpipes. However it encroaches on the RAM area and hard drive area. I was able to keep 2GB with different RAM...
