If you're overclocking, I'd go for it. An overclocked FSB actually heats up the NB a considerable amount. I suppose its a tradeoff, either a very cool NB, or a very cool CPU. You'll have to weigh up the pros and cons here.

As I said, I'd go for it.

Personally I dont think you'll see a huge jump in temperatures if you connected the NB heatsink.

I don't know if its advisable to add another radiator somewhere in there (between the hot stuff, if you know what I mean...). A small one will reduce the water temps before going elsewhere. Without much impedence I hope.
