and here is the corner oposite the fan.
im not sure what exactly is being cooled here, but it is using pretty small heatsinks... on copper one on back.. and then an aluminum plate
Looks more like EMI shielding for a big coil. I wouldnt worry about that.
The part you need to cool down is on the other side, where the big heatsinks reside.
One more time, extending mosfets wont cost you those 1% ratings at all. First you've got wires sticking out of your PSU to plug your hardware... are those throwing out the reliability ?

If you're not sure about your soldering skills try to find someone who's got a *electronics* (that means, small) iron and a steady hand.
