I have an old OCWC copper polyblock and while dissasembeling it for cleaning I noticed an old 486 heatsink sitting in a corner. the swirl chamber was a great idea but it didn't provide very much surface area. I have nothing better to do so I go at the heatsink w/ a hacksaw until it fits in the swirl chamber. The aluminum platesticks out the bottom a little so if I attach it to the copper plate I'll have a 2mm gap to fill around the block. The question is do i use the heatsink or not?

P.S. Does anyone know if a dangerden plexi socket A hold down will work on the old polyblock(without mounting holes)?.
