The temp on the back of my GeForce 4 Ti 4200 is WITH a water block on the GPU. So, I will be interested in your temps.
And, yeah, I noticed the components there as well... so it would make it a bit difficult, at best, to shape a copper pad for that area. And then comes the issue of an electrical insulator. Probably have to use the same thermal film that is found on power transistors (MOSFETS, etc.). :shrug:
It was just something I wanted to note.
