Noice! that Definitely wouldn’t be a bad idea to do that for the time being. The job can mostly be done with a sawzall and a decent metal file. Just takes some patience. However if a machine shop could do it it for a feasible price that would be the best route however it would probably be difficult to find one that would have the equipment that would want to do such a job for a private customer. Most that would have machinery like that wouldn’t wanna touch em and if they did they’d charge an astronomical price. But I’d love to be proven wrong in this aspect. Hopefully you can find one. 🤞I picked up this 2.3GHz heatsink with the processor card still installed from eBay. On the lookout for another one but I’m not sure how I’d go about modifying it since I don’t have the proper tools. Might have to take them to a machine shop or something.

I’m actually considering just putting it on one of my 2.5GHz cards as is and running a single processor for the time being. Might end up being faster since I’ve been running the quad in reduced mode anyway to keep the fan noise down. The LCS can still keep the temps mostly under control in automatic mode but it has to run the fans at near full blast during anything intensive.
