Re: Making a CPU duct to draw outside air onto CPU!
Ducting can help, and well old cerial boxes and some tape will do a very ad-hoc and cheap solution!
I did it many years ago when the side panel of my case had a fan on it slightly out of line with the cpu, i ducted the two together and dropped cpu temps by 5c ish.

And yeah as Zing has said all the heavy heatsinks will have there own mounting bracket which does away with the normal weight limit
