yeah - the ud5 is just the extreme - the extra chipset cooling
i have the extreme and you only -about 4c on your Nb with the super large heatsink addition
 
I never tested but how much do you lose with the NB block and heatsink? I just attached both as they both fit together so it has dual cooling :S
 
the reason adding the heatsink dosent really help is because the waterblock is on the core itself, and the extra heatsink goes next to it, so it dosent make very good contac with the heat source

it is also slightly flawd because if you look carefully its not 2 heatpipes over the whole thing its actually four,seperated ones, wich is not much good as it relys on the fins to transfer heat from the first two to the second two....i dont you will get lost reading that buy hey :)
