Ah... thanks and nice writeup. Stickers covered up the saddle... Your pictures really help, and also the tip about leeching too much heat with the heatsinks and warming the case unintentionally..

I just updated it tonight with a ver 3 heatsink mod. You should have a really good idea of where to place the heatsinks with the new pic. Read the commentsw to make sure you get the most heat transfer from what I have learned.

On the far left, the bottom of the 3 sinks, press it tight against where the green arrows are showing a gap in this picture.

Ver. 3 update.

I was looking up where the hits on my forum were coming from and found this ancient thread!

Wow, what a blast from the past!
Here is an updated Heatsink Mod shot for the original Executioner, that was like 2 months after this last post.

Interestingly enough, at the time I started doing the heatsink mods all the other notebook vendors said, "Oh... you don't need that."
I recently got an email from the ODM stating, "We are unable to utilize the x7800 and x7900 CPUs in our systems until we design a heatsink that will allow us to run the CPU at lower temperatures."
Since I had been designing and manufacturing my own heatsink mods for almost a year, I already have one and have several x7800 & x7900's in the field.
If you flip it over it has 3x's the surface area of stock not including the fins!

And the coup de gras, the Killer Notebooks CPU & GPU heatsinks on the new Executioner SR:
