Okay, horrible photo, but it gets the point across.  My strategy for
extended life of POS is to a) mount both POS to big heat sink from an
old server, b) relocate POS/sink unit behind the firewall in the "tray",
and c) mount POS/sink unit using rubber to reduce shock and vibration
(haven't done this yet).

Once this is all done, I would be happy to zap the POS with an IR
thermometer
and compare with other cooling schemes, including 2.7t (got one of those,
too),
and stock.  Since I don't have an IR thermometer yet, I will only be able to

do this as soon as I can borrow one (probably when I finally get to the
track).
I'll report data as I get it.
