well, i use NF7-S Rev 2.0 and run it at FSB 200 or DDR 400, I think most people get hot on SB because they overclock their FSB too high and run it with more volt, and for my NB i also use Zalman's (blue one) and it only get warm after playing about two hour of Zero Hour ( run it with 1.6 V, ambient about 30 C, Tropic !!) with only get air flow from back case fan.
Maybe i just misplace or get confused with NB and SB location, i just checked again and think SB located on the midle between agp slot and IDE slots, a little lower (correct me if i'm wrong), i also planning to get taller heatsink for my SB but it stuck to my R9600XT ram sink.
Basicly, copper will absorb heat better, and alluminium will dispate heat better, both joined = Best Heatsink ! ( I think ).
If you got more budget, try get Vantec Iceberg Copper version ( not the one with blue LED), it looks like org Abit NB cooler except it made of copper. and it comes with 2 more copper ram sink ( square size). u can use it one for SB and the other for such as your HD chip or mem, and the vantec it self you can use it for SB or VGA
