Ah, thank you for letting me know, even though late. I have a small pack of 100 mini heatsink, but i did not place them on the S5 since the chip's top are on the other side of the board. Do you put the heatsink on the copper plates?
Also i'm guessing you will have no problem selling the S5 at crazy price right now, but if you end up being interested in shipping to Canada, drop me a quote for one/both.

I'll throw in my late 2c also - I actually tried a couple of mini heatsinks, and the small sliver ones like this had almost no effect:

I tried these also:

Specifically the blue ones, and these DO make a difference - the problem being that they don't make a huge difference. If I remember correctly, adding them on all the copper plates amounted to about a 1c temperature drop - but that was a huge amount of work. I also did everything with high quality thermal adhesive instead of stickers, so I don't know how much that would affect thermal conductivity.
In the end, doing things like the acrylic case and fan spacers had a far greater effect on overall temps than the mini heatsinks, and was far less time consuming.
