For a short period of time, when the 4000 was with stock specs, it was running without a heat sink without any stability issues. After a while when I started fitting lots of cards, cables inside the 4000 and ventilation was not the greatest, I used a heat sink from an old Pentium PC.
I'll definately leave mine in place then. There isn't much airflow in the A3000. It could be a cheap option for anybody wanting to speed up their A3000.
