I beleive the coils and capacitors are simply getting hot from the MOSFETs. and even if they aren't, if they produce any considerable amount of heat, the block should help sink it since its right next to it. I'm planning on making one for mine too, the backside of my board has browned a bit and I'm only running 1.85v.

I have a different challenge though- I have to make my block without using power tools. Or soldering. Actually, I'd probably be able to work out soldering if I really wanted too, and I could work something out with a dremel too, but the dremel would blow my budget for the month...

Hell, even the getting to a hardware store part is tricky.

I think I'll use soft, bendable copper, use a hammer to try and flatten out one side, lap that a little, and then try to bend the ends up without kinking and without blocking the power cord. And then once its attached with AS3/Superglue I'll have to use some magic to keep the tubing from twisting the pipe off.
