i have three seagate barracuda IV (hot as hell) and they has a plate and foam over the chipset. you cant even cool them with air unless you disassemble all the thing. if you disassemble it and want to watercool it, you'll have to take care of the different thickness of the chips. anyway, the hot spot is the hdd engine, not the chipset.

i had this problem when built my system. the solution is as easy as make two concentrical holes: one the size of the "body" of the screw, and the other one, the size of its head (the bigger one doesn't reach the other side of the block). umm, countersunk?
