    Addition to Copper Disk between GPU and Heat Sink.
    Solder to the disk a length of 3/4 inch braided grounding strap and bend the strap over the heat sink and end at the end of the fan. Looks like a "U" when finished. Add terminal grease to both sides of the disk and also over the copper portion of the heat sink where the strap crosses.
    My GPU without strap no load 156F with strap 136F; without strap load 178F with strap 151F!
