I had an old burnt up bfl jalapeno, so I took the heat sink fan combo and mounted it onto a GS stick.

Holy cow, that looks awesome!  How warm to the touch does that massive sink get when you crank up the stick?

Not warm at all. The fan is 12v but I connected it to a usb plug 5v and it moves some good air and is also pretty much silent. The back heat sink is a little warm, I have a temp gun and will post stats when i get home from work.

{"hashrate1m": "27.6G", "hashrate5m": "26.5G", "hashrate1hr": "24.5G", "hashrate1d": "12.6G", "hashrate7d": "2.55G", "workers": 1, "bestshare": 17383283.667868529}

edit: mikestang look at the last picture, i have the old GS heatsink between the usb hub and the bfl heatsink. All the weight of the heatsink is resting on that. Plus the hub has a shroud around the jack, it really didnt sag without the green heatsink but i put it there for piece of mind.... kinda how you were thinking.
